Springfield Preservation and Revitalization (SPAR) was honored at the inaugural Bold City Ball, held Oct. 3 at Old St. Andrews’s Church on Philip Randolph Blvd.
Celebrating alongside SPAR were leaders from partner organizations, including San Marco Preservation Society, Historic Eastside Community Development Corporation, the Jacksonville History Center and many like-minded preservation advocates. As a collective, the groups plan to continue strengthening one another by collaborating to help smart formulate growth policies and foster quality of life, all while considering historic preservation and its many facets.
For 50 years, SPAR has been advocating for preservation of historic homes, buildings, monuments and streetscapes in one of the city’s most historic areas.
Proceeds and donations from the evening’s event – outside of ticket sales – benefit SPAR’s Endowed Charitable Fund, hosted at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida.
