12th Annual River Revival
"Rescue Your River - Save the Hooch!"
The 12th Annual River Revival, held May 15 at Park Tavern at Piedmont Park, set records for attendance and funds raised. More than 700 people joined the festivities, and the event netted $80,000! Thanks to all our sponsors, guests, auction donors, host committe co-chairs and members, and volunteers who helped to make this our best River Revival yet and our first sell-out.
Special thanks to Ed Roland, Will Turpin, and Joel Kosche of Collective Soul, who played an amazing set for the enthusiatic crowd! Thanks also to Atlantans Christopher Alan Yates and Gareth Asher who performed wonderful opening sets. River Revival also kicked off the Save the Hooch campaign sponsored by SweetWater Brewery to raise funds and awareness for Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (UCR).
The $45 admission included a low country boil from Whole Foods Market and other wonderful food, complimentary beer brewed by Park Tavern and SweetWater, wine and soft drinks, live and silent auctions, music (of course!), and a one-year membership in UCR.
