More than $1 million was raised by the Kennedy Center this week after the venue announced a ticketed rooftop watch party for the Fourth of July.In figures first shared with NBC News, over 1,200 people spent between $425 and $25,000 on tickets, according to the Center. They say the money raised will go toward the performance center’s general fund.Aerospace giant Boeing is among the corporations to spend $25,000, which provides the company 36 tickets, three reserved tables, food, cocktails and activities.Trump's name was removed from the Kennedy Center's facade just weeks ago.While the Kennedy Center typically opens up their property given their prime location for fireworks viewing along the Potomac River, the Center’s haul doubled this year, in part thanks to an anonymous donor who gave $500,000.“A record-breaking fundraising haul of over $1 million on our nation’s 250th birthday is a testament to growing enthusiasm for the future of America’s cultural center — opening our doors to supporters of the arts at all levels,” Roma Daravi, vice president of public relations told NBC News in a statement.The Kennedy Center had planned to close for two years beginning Monday, July 5, for what the Center said was much-needed renovations, before a federal judge blocked the closure.In late May, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper temporarily blocked the Trump administration from closing the Kennedy Center for repairs and ordered the removal of Trump’s name from the building and its website.Prior to the judge’s order, the center had laid off much of its programming and marketing staff, to prepare for the closure.The rooftop terrace where the Fourth of July event will be held was the focus of the Kennedy Center leadership’s rush to close, citing nearly a dozen locations where rainwater had seeped through planters and garden beds and into the Center’s structure below.The erosion of steel and concrete beams that hold up the Kennedy Center itself was seen during a tour of the facility attended by NBC News this spring.
