SecondStage's Cliffhanger Happy Ending

When I last posted on December 30, Redmond's SecondStory Rep had less than 48 hours to raise $80,000 or die trying. Would a Sam Wainwright arrive in time? (He's the rich pal in It's a Wonderful Life.)

23 hours and 53 minutes later, just before they closed their doors, says SecondStory's Celina Hilbrand, "A donor walked in with $4,000. That put us over. I believe we just made it at the last minute. We don't have to go out of business." Hee Haw!
