No matter the naysayers, we will work diligently to make this vision come to life, not just for Downtown but all of Memphis and Shelby County!

As we get ready to meet with Mayor Paul Young next week to finally get this revitalization off the ground (since they already approved the repairs), we want to share with you our vision for our "refresh" of the space! With over 400+ people / companies signing up on our sponsors and volunteer list, we know we can make this happen with your support!

We are going to share this graphic with the Mayor and his team and let them know, this is what we are shooting for! It includes a fresh coat of paint for the main concrete walls of the stage, repair of the stage floor, and a new coat of paint for all the seats!

We need companies / individuals who can pressure wash and paint! We also need the materials and labor donated to make this a ZERO DOLLAR effort to us tax payers!

If you or your company would like to sponsor/donate this refresh effort to get it ready for a concert series possibly this fall, please reach out to us via email at [email protected]!

Thank you,

Jerred Price
