DowntownMatters! kicks off Friday for Labor Day Weekend

Main Street Greenville...

GREENVILLE, OH – Main Street Greenville has announced a new annual giving campaign initiative called downtownmatters! Our Story. Our Place. Our Future. The downtownmatters! Initiative will kick-off Labor Day weekend at the downtown district’s First Friday and Farmers’ Market events, Friday-September 2nd and Saturday-September 3rd respectively.

According to Amber Schmerge, Executive Director of Main Street Greenville, the events were the prime venues for launching the drive. “Labor Day weekend traditionally carries a mind-set of closing out the summer months, its back to school and thoughts move toward fall and winter holiday planning. They turn their attention back home, with local experiences and community needs given a higher priority and focus. Incorporating the launch into First Friday and Farmers’ Market activities -two very active social venues - became the idea time. We’re pumped!”

The downtownmatters! Initiative is Main Street Greenville’s sole funding drive and volunteerism solicitation vehicle for the organization. The annual drive consists of four Mini-Campaigns scheduled throughout the upcoming year, in coordination with existing downtown events hosted in partnership with various downtown and community based business supporters. Each mini-campaign carries a different theme to coincide with its specific downtown event and donor incentive. 

A fundamental goal of the initiative is to bring a focus to all individuals and respective segments that play a critical role in creating a downtown that matters, the underlining service and impact Main Street Greenville works to achieve. Acting together; individual community members, businesses, organizations and government parties can become the key investors of a sustaining and impactful Downtown Greenville that continues to build the standard of living and quality of life we want to reflect and enjoy...to the end of downtownmatters! Since it is Our Stories. Our Place. Our Future.
