This Playmaker session shares how a team of dedicated people brought Clary Anderson Arena, a venerable but nearly closed facility, back to life in just 30 days. With the community rallying behind them, public partners aligned, and SFC’s venue team providing support and leadership, they raised more than $400,000 in a single week to fund urgent repairs and upgrades. You’ll hear how a smart, step-by-step plan overcame limited city budgets, how consistent daily communication built trust, and how a culture of leadership turned challenges into growth opportunities. Attendees will walk away with a practical playbook for uniting stakeholders, creating momentum, and moving fast when the clock is ticking.
