Thrive hosts 7th annual Bids & Blues fundraiser on Oct. 15

Press release from Thrive:

Eric Congdon Blues Revue and Peggy Ratusz with Daddy Longlegs will headline Thrive’s 7th Annual Bids & Blues fundraiser on Monday, Oct. 15 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Hendersonville Country Club. Guests will enjoy an evening of great food and music, a full cash bar, and a silent auction to benefit Thrive. The event raises money for Thrive’s programs, designed to help individuals and households living with psychiatric or housing instability achieve their goals.  Tickets are $40 each and can be purchased at the event or online at thrive4health.org/support/bids -blues/.

“We invite you to join us for a fun evening of music, food and community,” said Kristen Martin, executive director of Thrive. “Without the support of the community through events like Bids & Blues, Thrive could not continue its mission to help people with housing instability or mental health symptoms. Thanks to your support, we can help individuals find hope and transition from surviving to thriving.”

Event sponsorships are still available. If you wish to be a part of this event as a sponsor, please contact the Thrive offices at 828-697-1581.
