The East Hill Neighborhood Association (EHNA) is delighted to announce that the 2024 Bands on the Bayou concert series raised an impressive $45,000 to be distributed among six local nonprofit organizations. This year’s successful concert series, which brought the community together for live music and charity, underscores the event’s mission of “bringing East Hill residents together and supporting local nonprofit organizations in our community.”
The funds are evenly distributed to six selected nonprofit beneficiaries that positively impact the Pensacola area: Bike Pensacola, Dixon School of Arts & Sciences, Pensacola Children’s Chorus, Rally Foundation, Survivor-Led Solutions, and Upward Intuition. Each organization receives a portion of the funds to further its mission and continue providing valuable resources and support to the community.
“We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our sponsors and community partners,” said Lauren Gund, Chair of Bands on the Bayou. “Raising $45,000 this year speaks volumes about the dedication of our local businesses and residents to making a difference in our community.”
At the November 7th Check Presentation event held at the Bayview Community Center, EHNA President Donna Dickey, along with representatives from the City of Pensacola and each nonprofit, gathered to celebrate this remarkable achievement and thank the many community members who contributed to the concert series’ success.
The nonprofit nomination form for 2025 concert series grant recipients is now open. Visit www.bandsonthebayou/charities to apply. Application deadline is February 28, 2025.
