About the East Hill Neighborhood Association
The East Hill Neighborhood Association began in 2004 when Ms. Colleen McCollugh approached the City of Pensacola about issues in the neighborhood. A neighborhood watch was discussed, but at the time the City was promoting the idea of more well-developed community groups. So the East Hill Neighborhood Association was established— one of the first to organize within the city limits. With a hat-tip to the North Hill Neighborhood Association, the longest standing association in the City, EHNA followed suite as Pensacola’s second formal neighborhood association. Collen was the first Board President, and a full Board of Directors was elected to support. EHNA has continuously served the East Hill neighborhood since that time. Members of the Board meet monthly on a volunteer basis. 100% of funds raised go to neighborhood improvement projects and further the Association’s initiatives. Funds come from neighbors, individuals, families, and businesses who join the EHNA for an annual fee. We also conduct fundraisers and rely on event sponsors to further enhance our offerings, with a good example being the Bands on the Bayou Concert Series.

Become a MEMBER
Membership is just $25 per year for residents and $75 for businesses. Membership dues go right back into the neighborhood through park improvements and community events like outdoor movie nights, concerts, craft markets, and more. Residents will also receive an “I love living in East Hill” yard sign, while businesses will gain added exposure to help promote your work.

Join a COMMITTEE
We are always looking for energetic and creative-minded individuals to bring value to our Committees. Our current committees focus on Events, Parks, and Membership, and we are always looking to expand to even more service areas. If you want to join an existing committee or discuss forming a new one, reach out to the Board! We’d love to hear from you.
Give us a shout at info@myeasthill.org or (850) 529-0699.
Become a VOLUNTEER
Not ready to commit to a committee? We get it! Instead, get your feet wet and see what it’s all about first by becoming a volunteer. We often seek volunteers to help with park improvement projects and community events. This is a great way to enjoy some family time and meet new neighbors. In need of service hours? We’ve got you covered there too!

Be a SPONSOR
In order to bring you the bigger events like Bands on the Bayou and Big Screens on the Bayou, we need more than membership dollars. We need sponsors. This is a great way to get your business in front of thousands of residents! We seek to maximize sponsorship benefits for ultimate exposure and perks in exchange for your support. Our sponsorship packages start at just a few hundred dollars.
