About Lotawana Live
A single goal. Three years and growing.
Lotawana Live is a community-driven event committee that operates under the Robison Endowment Fund of Lake Lotawana Parks and Recreation, Inc. We started in 2023 with a single goal: raise serious money to rebuild the tennis and pickleball courts at Gate 1.
Three years later we've grown into the lake's biggest fundraising engine — a summer concert series on the water and a fall BBQ competition at Stafford Airfield. Once the courts are done, we'll keep going, putting future proceeds toward whatever the lake needs next.
