During the concert in the auditorium, the ROCKTIONEER™ will lead the "Fund-A-Mission" live auction. This exciting event will offer attendees the chance to directly support the "Fox in a Box" educational program, a cornerstone of Fox Gives that educates elementary students about the communal history of the Fox Theatre. Regions Bank, a venue sponsor and Official Bank of the Fox Theatre will double each donation made during this fundraiser, maximizing the impact of attendee contributions. Participants will also be able to win Golden Tickets, granting year-long access to Fox Theatre shows.

Last year, the Fox Theatre distributed $500,000 in grants to restore 12 historic theaters across Georgia, including The Strand in Marietta, Northwest Atlanta’s Grove Theatre and Fairburn’s Southside Theatre Guild. These funds have been instrumental in updating essential infrastructure like sound and lighting systems, helping these cultural landmarks reopen and thrive.

Leigh Burns, Director of the Fox Theatre’s community partnerships program, expressed enthusiasm about the event, "We're thrilled that Revival will feature renowned artists such as The Indigo Girls and Charlie Starr with Benji Shanks of Blackberry Smoke. This annual benefit is a celebration of our state's rich theater and music culture, bringing together fans and supporters in Atlanta for a memorable evening of performances and meaningful fundraising."
