Red Lion is experiencing significant revitalization, with new restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, retail stores and luxury apartments popping up just in the last two years. Red Lion ROARS is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2020 to support this economic development and encourage a comprehensive increase in arts, culture, recreation and community services to match!
Two exciting projects we are currently providing funding for include brand new murals throughout town and the Rockin' Red Lion Day of Service on May 17!
Expanding our mural arts program: The mural at the square was just the beginning of what we hope to be a thriving mural arts culture in Red Lion! We've added several more murals in Artemis Courtyard and along Railroad Ave. We've also collaborated with Red Lion Junior and Senior High Schools to add window mural to several Red Lion businesses along Main St and W Broadway. We connect building owners to local mural artists to beautify our town even more.
Sponsoring community events: We are always looking to support existing events or initiatives and create new ones to serve our community and encourage more people to come to Red Lion! Some of the events we have sponsored in the past include Red Lion Recreation activities and programs, local theatre programs, Community REACH fundraisers and Red Lion Area School District recreational and educational activities.
Enhancing community services: We have partnered with several other local nonprofits and organizations to support and expand the important work they are doing in our community. Last December, we hosted our first Community Coalition event that brought together nearly 20 local organizations from the Red Lion area—who address important issues like food insecurity, promoting literacy, aiding addiction recovery, mental health, and suicide prevention—to break down silos and begin to work together to build a brighter future for Red Lion that we can all be proud of.
Red Lion Roars is a newly established 501(c)3 non profit to benefit Red Lion and its surrounding communities by developing and expanding opportunities for recreation, arts, music, special events and cultural experiences for all. Our recently updated headquarters, The Leo Center, is located on the borough's center square and will serve as a welcome center during public events and other community purposes.
Red Lion Roars aims to make the Red Lion and surrounding communities a great place for all to live, stay, work and play through fundraising/support for special events, projects and initiatives related to:
• Enhancing Child & Family Development Opportunities
• Expanding Artist and Musician Support
• Increasing Economic Development
• Increasing Small Business Support
• Increasing Travel and Tourism
OUR GIVE LOCAL YORK 2021 GOAL:
To raise $5,000 for Red Lion Recreation’s Children’s & Youth Programming.
Red Lion Recreation offers a variety of kids camps and activities, open for residents and non-residents alike, from summer camps, sports clinics, art classes, clubs and more. Generous donations from our community supporters are what allow us to offer these programs at a lower cost for families in the Red Lion and the surrounding areas.
