Fox Gives is proud to announce it has received The Georgia Cities Foundation's (GCF) 2024 Foundation Legacy Partner Award. This award honors outstanding long-term commitment and partnership in urban redevelopment and community enhancement, recognizing the significant contributions made by Fox Gives over the years. 

The Legacy Partner Award celebrates cities or organizations that have demonstrated enduring dedication to community improvement, economic development, and fostering strong partnerships. The Georgia Cities Foundation selected Fox Gives for its sustained and impactful initiatives, including the Fox Gives grants program. This program provides sizable grants to historic theatres in regions of the state needing urgent or emergency repairs, such as those suffered during floods or fires, as well as their efforts in offering high school students front-row access to entertainment industry careers – from lighting and sound to stage and venue management. These efforts have resulted in compassionate community outreach initiatives that provide good fortune and benefit to many across the state.

“Our entire Fox Theatre organization is thrilled to receive the inaugural 2024 Legacy Partner award from the Georgia Cities Foundation,” said Leigh Burns, Director of Community Partnerships at Fox Gives. “Receiving this inaugural award from a group of our peers who are dedicated to enhancing the vitality of Georgia's cities is truly a humbling recognition. This honor further motivates our dedication to fostering community and economic development across the state through the preservation of arts and culture.”

The Georgia Municipal Association presented Fox Gives with the award at its annual awards ceremony on Monday, June 24, at the Savannah Convention Center. The ceremony brought together leaders from across the state to celebrate cities' achievements and recognize their contributions to building a better Georgia.

“Fox Gives exemplifies the spirit of the Legacy Partner Award through their unwavering commitment to community development,” said Pam Sessions, President of the Georgia Cities Foundation. “Their long-term vision and collaborative approach have created lasting benefits for those they partner with and serve as a model for other organizations. GCF and the Georgia Municipal Association are grateful for Fox Gives' support of Georgia's cities.”
