A couple of weeks have passed since Roots Fest, but the gratitude certainly has not. 💛🎶

We are thrilled to share that, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, musicians, attendees, and community, Roots Fest raised $7,000 for the New River Land Trust and Poverty Creek Trails Coalition. 🌿🥾

A very special thank you to our sponsors, who made this event possible through their generous support: Freedom First Credit Union Mortgage Division, River Mountain Properties, NRV Title & Settlement, Northpoint Insurance Advisors, and Shelter Alternatives, Inc. We are so grateful to each of you for investing in this event and in the work these nonprofits do for our community. 🙌

And a huge thank you to Rising Silo Brewery for being such a wonderful host and venue. It was the perfect setting for an evening of music, community, and giving back. 🍻✨

We are also incredibly grateful to William Seymour, The Floorboards, and Holy Roller for sharing their time and talent. The music was the heart of the event, and each of you helped make the evening feel truly special. 🎸🎤

Thank you to everyone who showed up, donated, played, sponsored, helped spread the word, and made the day such a success. Roots Fest became much more than a fundraiser, and we are incredibly grateful. 💛

Sponsor spotlight: River Mountain Properties 🌿

Thank you to River Mountain Properties for supporting Roots Fest and helping make this first-year event possible.

River Mountain Properties is a Blacksburg-based property management company founded by Lindsey Gilmer, a third-generation real estate broker and third-generation Virginia Tech graduate with more than 20 years of experience in the New River Valley.

Named for the mountain visible from her family farm, River Mountain Properties was built on a simple foundation: hard work matters, details matter, and people matter.

Now in its 11th year, River Mountain Properties helps protect clients’ investments, improve property performance, and make property ownership less stressful.

Roots Fest brings together live music, community, and fundraising for New River Land Trust and Poverty Creek Trails Coalition - and it happens because local sponsors are willing to step up and be part of it.

We’re grateful for their support and excited to celebrate together on Saturday, June 6 at Rising Silo Brewery.
