Did you know? First Night© Virginia is: • Sponsored by an independent non-profit organization, not the City of Charlottesville. First Night receives less than 2.5% of its revenue from government sources. • Produced by two part-time employees, 12 volunteer board members, and approximately 250 event volunteers. • Committed to keeping button prices affordable. We generate 50% of our annual budget from some of Charlottesville’s most generous businesses and citizens.
