C R A T O S

With the conclusion of the ATOS National Convention in Indianapolis, CRATOS has received word that a “Pass the Hat” fundraising effort during the final banquet help raise funds for our cause.  We are very appreciative of the efforts of ATOS and the generous members attending the national convention. 

 We still have a long way to go however.  Any donation, big or small, is helpful and will allow CRATOS to continue moving forward with restoration and recovery efforts for both the Barton and Wurlitzer organs.  We are working with the City of Cedar Rapids to provide guidance on the Wurlitzer, and the efforts to remove the Barton console and prepare it for cleaning and restoration activities are in full swing. 

You can help CRATOs by donating in many different ways.  CRATOS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and your donation may be tax deductable.

Use the “Donate” link to the right to utilize our secure PayPal donation service. 

CRATOS is auctioning a copy of Scott Foppiano’s 2003 recording of the Rhinestone Barton, “Back in the Black” on eBay.  Check out our auction, bid to win, and help CRATOS by winning a copy of this incredible recording.
