Can You Help ?
The Oak Grove Pavilion ministry is able to contribute 100% of all intermission donations to the community because of the generous support of those who have agreed to become sponsors for each musical event. Over the past thirteen
years the over $45,000 of donations raised has been distributed to local organizations like the Floyd Rescue Squad, The Women’s Resource Center, Angels in the Attic, Literacy Volunteers, New River Community Actions, the Volunteer
Fire Department, the Floyd Free Clinic and many others. Sponsors are needed for some of the dates for this summer season. You may sponsor all or part of each event, $300. or $100. If you can help, please call Carter Holliday at 745.6231 or email at holliday@swva.net.
