Volunteers
Each season we partner with local non-profits who help us by volunteering at our shows. In turn, DRI makes a donation to these wonderful organizations. This year's partner non-profits are Giving Back Society, Angels of Assisi, and the Roanoke Valley Shag Club.
If your group is interested in providing 10-12 volunteers, please email TylerM@DowntownRoanoke.org.
A huge thanks to our awesome sponsors!
