The campaign raised 90 percent of that total by the end of February, causing the three parties involved in its construction to agree to the 90-day extension allowed in the original contract. The Cheech, as it’s called, would be built in downtown Riverside around the extensive Chicano art collection owned by Marin, a comic actor and collector.
