Let’s Make Some Noise (the Good Kind!)

We are launching something beautiful in St. Augustine — and we’d love for you to be a part of it!

Introducing “Songs from the Purple Bench” a heart-led, community-powered music campaign where local voices take center stage to sing about what matters most:
Love. Respect. Appreciation. Compassion. Community.
And the belief that “we are better together.”

Here’s how it works:
* Groups of 2–3 people write and perform an original song (2.5 – 4 mins)
* Performances are filmed on a signature Purple Bench placed in iconic St. Augustine locations.
* Videos are uploaded to Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
* The top 3 most-loved songs (by likes and shares) win awesome prizes, get airtime on local radio, and are featured on JAX TV!

And here’s where you come in:
Sponsor a Purple Bench – Your business name featured on a bench that becomes a stage for compassion and creativity
and/or
Sponsor a Prize – Support the artists who touch hearts and bring the community together with their voices
This is a Compassionate St. Augustine (501 (c) 3 non-profit) campaign and is managed by "In the Spotlight", and soon it will be rolling out in cities across the U.S.A.

Now, more than ever, we need to come together.
And what better way to do that than through music with meaning?

To enter, or to sponsor a bench or prize, please contact:
[email protected] or www.thepurplebench.com

Let’s showcase your talent or business, and benefit your community, put your brand at the heart of a movement that uplifts, unites, and inspires.
