    The Loveland Stage Company has a noise problem and you can help do something about it!

    Loveland, Ohio – Here is a short video explaining the current need of the Loveland Stage Company.

    There has been over $7000 raised thus far!

    Can we make it to $10K?

    Each unique email donation gets us closer to our goal of replacing the HVAC system to make our theater quieter and more comfortable.

    Here’s how you can help:

    Donate to LSC using the links below. You will be taken to a special fundraising page, hosted by MightyCause (similar to the GoFundMe site).

    USING THIS WEBSITE IS THE ONLY WAY THAT YOUR DONATION COUNTS TOWARDS THE GRANT AWARD.

    Our goal is to raise at least $8000. That amount will get the improvements started, even if the big grant eludes us.

    INCREASING THE CHANCES OF LSC WINNING:

    Each “unique” contribution scores bonus points towards earning the large Grant money. Two donations of $25, each using separate emails, is ranked higher than if one person gives $50.

    Take an extra moment and ask each member of your family to give something ($5 minimum). Any amount helps, as long as it uses a different email.

    1-1/2 WEEKS LEFT TO ACT!

    All funds must be raised by NOON, August 13th.

    PLEASE SHARE THIS PLEA!

    THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE LOVELAND STAGE COMPANY!

    Children and Air Pollution

    Children face special risks from air pollution because their lungs are growing and because they are so active and breathe in a great deal of air.

    Just like the arms and legs, the largest portion of a child’s lungs will grow long after he or she is born. Eighty percent of their tiny air sacs develop after birth. Those sacs, called the alveoli, are where the life-sustaining transfer of oxygen to the blood takes place. The lungs and their alveoli aren’t fully grown until children become adults. In addition, the body’s defenses that help adults fight off infections are still developing in young bodies. Children have more respiratory infections than adults, which also seems to increase their susceptibility to air pollution.

    Furthermore, children don’t behave like adults, and their behavior also affects their vulnerability. They are outside for longer periods and are usually more active when outdoors. Consequently, they inhale more polluted outdoor air than adults typically do.
