Your gift, no matter the size, is welcomed and needed in order to make the Let It Flow – Smoky Hill River Renewal Campaign successful. Each gift for the campaign will be recognized on the Friends website and in a Campaign Celebration program to be printed, distributed, and shared with the community at the successful conclusion of the campaign.
Gifts for the campaign of $5,000 or more will be permanently recognized on a donor display within the 4th Street plaza area, located West of the Iron Street Bridge. This handsome display will be constructed as part of the Smoky Hill River Renewal project.
In addition, to the above recognition, naming and sponsorship opportunities exist within the Let It Flow – Smoky Hill River Renewal Campaign.

“Salina exists for only one reason. The Smoky Hill River. Beginning with a ferry across the river, to a trading post, to water powered mills, to a growing city, the history of Salina is irrevocably tied to the river. Now, with it’s renewal, it will be the jewel in the crown of downtown redevelopment, a source of civic pride, and an economic asset for the entire community.”
Mike Mattson
“I envision a revitalized river where we can gather with friends and family, creating new memories – kayaking, fishing, and simply enjoying the beauty of nature. This project isn’t just about revitalizing a river; it’s about bringing life and joy to Salina, and I’m wholeheartedly behind it!”
Rafael Mendez - V.P. of Customer Culture, Blue Beacon, Inc.
“Living along the river in Downtown Salina has been a wonderful experience for my family. Getting up in the morning, watching the wildlife, and hearing the river flow when it rains makes us feel more connected to our environment. The river revitalization project will allow our community to strengthen and return to nature but also allow the wildlife that lives off of its resources to thrive.”
Elizabeth Ali-Schade - Director of Operations, Theatre Salina
