Friends of Ironton
Support / Get Involved
The Ro-Na wasn't saved by one big check. It was saved by people who kept showing up. Here's how you keep showing up.
Donate
Donations go to the unglamorous essentials that make everything else possible: utilities, insurance, the upkeep of a 1949 building, and the volunteer support behind every event night. Friends of Ironton is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Ro-Na Theater Membership
A Ro-Na Theater membership is recurring support that keeps the Ro-Na going: it keeps the neon lit, the doors open, and the calendar full, season after season. Memberships are managed by Friends of Ironton, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that owns and operates the theater, so they're tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Volunteer
The Ro-Na was cleaned out, patched up, and brought back largely by volunteer hands — and volunteers still make event nights run. Tell us your interests and availability and we'll find you a job worth doing.
Sponsor the Ro-Na
When the marquee lights up, downtown Ironton shows up. Sponsoring the Ro-Na Theater and Conference Center puts your business's name on a landmark the community spent nearly two decades bringing back — and in front of the audiences who fill it for concerts, comedy, festivals, conferences, and community nights.
- A working venue with a year-round calendar — your name is part of live events, not a plaque in a quiet building.
- A Tri-State draw — programming at the Ro-Na has historically reached audiences across southern Ohio, eastern Kentucky, and western West Virginia.
- A story people are proud of — one of downtown Ironton's most visible revival stories, brought back largely by volunteers and local support.
Sponsorships can be scoped to a season, a series, or a single event; packages are built with you.
