Friends of the Saenger is the fund raising arm of the Saenger Management Board. The Saenger Theatre had been on the brink of being razed when a citizens’ effort to save her and the Morton Theatre Organ housed within her walls kept her from the wrecking ball. A massive renovation had to be undertaken, and the Friends of the Saenger, Inc. was established to raise the money. The theatre today is listed in the National Register of Historic Sites.
