The 44 Venue is here today because of vision, generosity, and a heartfelt commitment to our community. When people come together with a shared purpose, incredible things happen.

The late Darrel Hendrickson’s dedication to Richland School District #44 students and families continues to leave a lasting mark 🤍 His legacy lives on in every gathering, performance, and celebration held within these walls.

We are so proud of what has been accomplished — and even more excited for what lies ahead. This is just the beginning, with more great things still to come!
