Fundraising
After saving the bridge from demolition, the SBA began actively fundraising for the maintenance, preservation, and upkeep of the bridge.
Events included an annual Labor Day parade and street dance a 5k road race, the winter Golf Classic (avid or not, golfers unload their clubs into the snow for fun and games along the icy riverbank). For nearly 25 years, the SBA continued in this fashion to preserve the mighty structure.
Today the SBA continues multiple fundraising events and donates to the Community Foundation of Johnson County.
The Foundation currently has two funds established for the Sutliff Bridge - an Endowment Fund and a Charitable Giving Fund - with the purpose of setting aside funds for future bridge maintenance or to make improvements to the location as a public destination. The Endowment Fund utilizes the Endow Iowa tax credit adopted in 2003 by Iowa Legislature.
