Historic Augusta Celebrates 60 Years of Preservation with Anniversary Benefit Auction

Historic Augusta marks six decades of architectural and cultural preservation with its Perfectly Aged Benefit Auction scheduled for September 18, 2025, at Saint Paul's River Room. The black-tie optional event with masks and tiaras will feature an evening of libations, music, and catering from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, celebrating the organization's longstanding commitment to safeguarding Augusta's heritage.

The anniversary event arrives at a pivotal moment for historic preservation in Augusta, where urban development continues to threaten significant structures. Funds raised through the auction will directly support the organization's mission to protect and promote the city's unique architectural legacy for future generations. A representative from Charity Ace, assisting with fundraising efforts, emphasized that community participation is vital for continuing this important work.

Substantial community support has been demonstrated through multiple sponsorship levels, with Keystone sponsors including the Knox Foundation and The Kru. Gold sponsors feature Laurie McRae Interiors and Stokes Hodges Auto Group, alongside additional silver and bronze contributors ensuring the event's success.

Online ticket sales and bidding will be available, with auction items available for pickup by noon on September 19th. The organization encourages ongoing support through donations, memberships, or volunteering opportunities beyond the event itself.

The 60th anniversary celebration underscores the enduring importance of charitable giving to non-profit organizations dedicated to cultural preservation. Such events demonstrate how community support enables organizations like Historic Augusta to maintain their critical missions amid evolving urban landscapes and development challenges.
