Program accomplishments
- THE BIG HOUSE, APTLY NAMED, WAS THE CENTRAL HUB OF OPERATIONS FOR THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND FOR THE FIRST FORMATIVE YEARS OF THE BAND FROM 1970- 1973. THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND WERE THE PIONEERS OF THE MUSIC GENRE KNOWN TODAY AS SOUTHERN ROCK AND CONTINUE TO BE A LASTING INFLUENCE ON THE MUSIC WORLD. THE HOUSE WAS CONSIDERED "HOME" FOR THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND AND THEIR FAMILIES, ROADIES, AND FRIENDS IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES, AND IN 1993 BECAME HOME TO ONE OF THE BAND'S ROAD MANAGERS. AFTER WELCOMING FANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE HOUSE SHOULD BECOME A MUSEUM TO SHOWCASE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND'S MEMORABILIA AND CONTINUE THE LEGACY OF THE BAND. IN 2009, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND MUSEUM AT THE BIG HOUSE OPENED ITS DOORS AND CONTINUES TO BE A STAPLE IN THE MIDDLE GEORGIA COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS A TOP TOURIST ATTRACTION FOR MACON. IN 2024, THE BIG HOUSE FOUNDATION, INC HELD ITS THIRD ANNUAL " HITTIN THE LINKS" GOLF TOURNAMENT FUNDRAISER. WE HAD A FULL FIELD OF 32 TEAMS (128 PLAYERS) FROM ALL AROUND THE UNITED STATES COME OUT TO SUPPORT THE BIG HOUSE FOUNDATION. END OF THE LINE CAPPED OFF AN AMAZING DAY OF FUN AND FELLOWSHIP WITH A FANTASTIC SHOW PLAYING ALLMAN BROTHER BAND SONGS. ALSO IN 2024, THE FOUNDATION WAS ABLE TO GET PERMITS APPROVED FOR DEMOLITION OF A BUILDING ON THE GROUNDS OF THE BIG HOUSE MUSEUM AND NEW CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FOR A NEW EVENT SPACE. WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE DEMOLITION AND BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON NEW LANDSCAPE FEATURES AROUND THE PROPERTY OF THE BIG HOUSE MUSEUM.Expenses $284,310 · revenue $176,690
