Why Join The Alliance?

With a Downtown Sarasota Alliance (The Alliance) membership, you reap the benefits of our marketing and promotion of the downtown business community. We've spent over a decade building credibility and people turn to us for information about events and opportunities that support our local business community.

TAKE THE PLEDGE

The Buy Local pledge states, “I pledge to vote with my dollars and purchase as much as I can from local businesses. I will maximize sustainability and community investment. I will minimize environmental impact through my buying.” Guests can sign and date a business card-sized pledge and keep it in their wallet as a reminder to shop local. Pledge cards will be available at both Sarasota Architectural Salvage stores this summer! #takethepledge
