On May 3, we celebrate Southface’s founding on Sun Day in 1978.

This marks 48 years of advancing sustainability through practical solutions that produce lasting impact. Our story began that day in Woodruff Park, where a group of passionate volunteers gathered for the very first Sun Day, a national call to action for solar energy that reflected a simple truth we still carry forward: meaningful progress starts with committed people working together on practical solutions that create real impact. From those beginnings, Southface has grown alongside the partners and communities who have shaped our journey, helping turn local ideas into influence felt across Atlanta, the region, and beyond. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of that work. We’ll carry that spirit forward on May 8 at our Sustainability in Action Roundtable (SART), bringing together local leaders who are tackling today’s challenges and “brightening their corner” through innovation and collaboration.
