The Performing Arts Initiative, which is looking to build a state-of-the-art performance center in the Columbia River Gorge, has announced its effort to raise $200,000 over the next two months.  The DREAM BIG campaign will run through the end of June.  Current PAI Board President Emily Vawter says PAI has received a $10,000 donation from a long-time supporter, and if the PAI receives a total of $10,000 in donations from other supporters by May 15, they will donate an additional $10,000.  The organization plans in the next 12 months to finalize land lease terms for a venue location overlooking the Columbia River, hire an interim development director, and hire an architectural firm to begin designing the performance center.  Donations can be made at https://givebutter.com/PAI_DreamBig
