What is the sponsor money for?
Restoration154 hosts one big fundraiser annually: Rockin’ the River. Our next festival will be held on May 1, 2027 in downtown Elba. By being a sponsor of this festival, you are not only helping to promote your business, you are helping your community! Restoration154 is a local non-profit organization that plans, organizes, and implements many impactful projects right here in Elba. This year we are specifically working to fund the following initiatives:
|
The produce grown at The Giving Garden is donated to the Elba Food Bank and given to local citizens in need. Annually, we host Spring and Fall Planting events where we clean out the raised beds and plant new crops. Currently, we are in the process of replacing all of the plumbing, beds, and soil. This work is partially funded by a grant from Wiregrass RC&D and supplemented by funds raised at this event.

We are currently working to fund projection equipment, and a movie screen at The Elba Theatre. This will allow us to expand the types of programming that we can accommodate in this historic space - bringing more of the arts to our beloved downtown square. Proceeds are also used to help pay for the ongoing operational expenses for the theatre (utilities, taxes, and insurance).

Additionally, we are working closely with Kat Holloway of Elevated Earth. We hope to start offering some arts-based instruction in the near future! Stay tuned!
