This Valentine’s weekend, The Current is inviting you to join us for Coastal Crush Weekend, a special fundraiser built around a shared coastline, a great night out, and support for independent local journalism.

The Current covers nearly 100 miles of the Georgia coast, from Savannah down to the Florida line. Our reporting reaches communities across the region, including Savannah, Richmond Hill, Hinesville and Fort Stewart, the Golden Isles, and Camden County. We follow the stories that shape life along the coast, no matter which town you call home.

To reflect that shared spirit, we’re meeting our readers on the ice. Hockey is having a moment right now, and we get why. There is something about a cold rink, loud crowds, and a little tension in the air that pulls people together. This Valentine’s weekend, we’re tapping into that energy not for rivalry, but for connection, and for a fun way to support the reporting that keeps us all informed.

As part of Coastal Crush Weekend, the Savannah Ghost Pirates and the Jacksonville Icemen are playing a back-to-back, home-and-home series over Valentine’s weekend. Friday night in Savannah and Saturday just down the coast in Jacksonville. The Current is using the weekend as a chance to bring together readers from across the coast for a shared experience that supports the work we do every day.

When you purchase tickets through The Current’s Coastal Crush Weekend links, a portion of every ticket sold goes directly toward funding our investigative and accountability reporting along the coast.
