As most know The Olympia Ballroom experienced multiple thefts and extensive fire/flood damage from the adjacent apartment complex in 2025. The ballroom lost dozens of rental groups, weddings and events and provided thousands in refunds.

This fundraiser is to help garner support for these losses but also to be able to continue to provide non-profit user groups discounted rates in 2026.

Gourmet Holiday Popcorn will be drop shipped to your doorstep! Some of the proceeds of your popcorn purchase will positively impact our fundraiser towards the Olympia Ballroom!

Donations are also accepted!

Thank you!

This Fundraiser is for the Olympia Ballroom non profit organization and to help with non-profit group rental discounts we offer year around. This also assists with the impacts experienced from theft, damage and unexpected events that hit the historic space in 2025 that insurance could not cover due...
