(Sautee-Nachoochee)- The Sautee Nacoochee Center has been named the recipient of a $25,000 financial grant as part of the historic Fox Theatre’s 2024-2025 Fox Gives grants program.
The funds will enable a historic preservation specialist and preservation-based architect to study the feasibility and make architectural assessments needed for revitalizing the historic gymnasium located on the Sautee Nachoochee Center campus.
The grant is one of twelve awarded for this year. These single-year grants were funded in two categories: Preservation & Facilities and Technical Assistance.
Mel Whitehead, Executive Director of the Sautee Nacoochee Center said, “Our gymnasium, built in the 1930s, is an important venue for SNC. It is large and hardy enough to hold over 200 people with a flexibility that is not available in our other facilities. Continued stabilization with an eye to revitalizing the building is critical to its continued use.”
Since its inception in 2008, Fox Gives has expanded its philanthropic efforts, doubling its financial commitment to preserving historic theaters and venues across Georgia and the Southeast.
