Defending the Honor of American Popular Culture

Here is the sixth in a weekly series of State of Coney Island Addresses, from our Artistic Director/Founder and permanently unelected mayor of Coney Island Dick Zigun! This week, Dick let's a secret slip out! Please share the video and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Today is #GivingTuesdayNow. In a historic demonstration of global unity, folks will be stepping up to support not-for-profits, and the many ways they enrich the communities they serve. Coney Island USA is proud to stand with other local, national, and international not-for profits whose endeavors are helping to make a difference in the lives of others.

As you know, Coney Island is a very special place—it’s more than just a zip code—it’s a state of mind. For almost 40 years, Coney Island USA has been at the vanguard of preserving and promoting the People’s Playground, paying homage to performing-artforms of old with quirky and unique programming. We are also committed to sustaining our community, both through cultural preservation and by helping to bring the visitors that are our neighborhood’s economic lifeblood.

We know these times are not easy for anyone, but we ask you to consider supporting Coney Island USA on #GivingTuesdayNow. Your gift will help ensure that we can continue our mission of defending the honor of American popular culture, and keep the thrills and wonder alive for generations to come.

Thank you for your support!
