Imagine Muny 2024
Thank you to every single supporter of Imagine Muny III! With your help, The Muny Conservancy raised over $1 Million to go towards our fight to save Lions Municipal Golf Course in its entirety.
The Muny Conservancy’s third annual fundraising event, the Imagine Muny Gala, hosted a star-studded crowd at the ACL Live at the Moody Theater on Sunday, March 24, 2024. The event delighted guests with Muny programming, a spirited live auction, incredible live music, and raised more than $1 million dollars for the Muny Conservancy. The fundraiser featured Austin’s own Asleep at the Wheel front man and Save Muny Board Member Ray Benson, Larry Gatlin, Jimmie Vaughan, and Gary P. Nunn. It was a magical night of music and fellowship with the Austin community showing up to celebrate Lions Municipal Golf Course and raise funds to protect and preserve Muny.
