Eliada hosts ‘Light the Path’ Signature Event

Press release:

Eliada is proud to introduce their second annual Signature Event, presented by Blossman Gas.

The 2017 Signature Event will feature another fun and inspiration theme, “Light the Path.” We will celebrate the family members, mentors, supporters, and everyone in the community who continuously lights a path of success for our most vulnerable children. This theme gives us the opportunity to honor everyone who plays a role in helping a child succeed. The concept of “light” will also be evident in the decor.

This event will take place on Saturday, September 23rd at 6:00pm in the Grand Ballroom of the Omni Grove Park Inn at 290 Macon Dr, Asheville, NC 28804. The event will begin with hors d’oeuvres, local beverages and a silent auction from 6:00-7:00pm, at which point the live auction and seated dinner featuring the Blind Pig Supper Club will begin.

100% of the proceeds from this event go directly to the services and programs that assist and empower in the success of Eliada’s children. Last year at the inaugural Signature Event, Eliada raised $50,000 to serve children in need.

“Blossman is excited to be a part of Eliada’s Signature Event once again.” says Stuart E. Weidie, President and CEO of Blossman Gas. “We look forward to helping them light the path for the future for children and this community.”

Tickets can be found at eliada.org with early bird pricing available through August 31st.
