Greenville Gears Up for Charity Gala and Community Events
Greenville is buzzing with excitement as plans are finalized for the upcoming Big Money Cares Charity Gala, taking place on November 9 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the stunning Hotel Hartness on Halston Avenue. This elegant black-tie event promises to be an evening filled with entertainment, generosity, and a chance to support a worthy cause, benefitting the Isaiah 117 House.
A Night of Glamour for a Great Cause
The gala will feature live music by the popular band Steel Toe Stiletto, setting a lively atmosphere for attendees to enjoy. With an open bar and an exciting live auction, it’s a perfect opportunity to indulge in a night out while contributing to an impressive mission. Auction items are expected to include a brand-new car, beautiful paintings, and exquisite jewelry, making it a night you won’t want to miss.
Johnathan Burgess, the founder of Big Money Retirement Solutions, expressed the team’s commitment to helping those in need, stating, “This charity holds a special place in our hearts as a team. We believe that a strong support system at home is the foundation for success in life and business.” The funds raised during this event will go directly to the Isaiah 117 House, an organization dedicated to providing a safe space for children entering the foster care system.
Understanding the Impact of Isaiah 117 House
Isaiah 117 House serves as a vital resource for children who are often uprooted from their homes during traumatic times. The organization provides clean clothing, blankets, toys, and caring volunteers to comfort children while they await placement in foster homes. The aim is to minimize the trauma associated with such transitions, allowing children to feel some semblance of normalcy during a turbulent period.
The gala aims to raise an impressive $100,000 for this cause. For those interested in attending or supporting this noble effort, tickets and information are available directly through the gala’s website.
Exciting Developments in Greenville’s Community
In other local news, the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame recently welcomed new board member Nate Hunt from the JACKSON marketing agency. Hunt’s expertise in off-road motorsports will no doubt add great value to the Hall, which has been recognizing off-road racing achievements for nearly 50 years. Hunt expressed his enthusiasm by stating, “I’m excited to help grow such an important part of the off-road community.”
Gathering for Young Professionals
Meanwhile, young professionals will have their own opportunity to connect at the PIQUE event on October 15 at Hyatt Regency. Now in its ninth year, this signature event hosted by Ten at the Top will feature breakout sessions, roundtable discussions, and networking receptions aimed at fostering connections among Upstate’s young professionals.
Community Spirit on Display
The community of Greenville continues to show its support for local initiatives. Recently, the Mast General Store celebrated Friends Day by donating 10% of its sales to the Friends of the Reedy River, supporting river conservation efforts. “We’ve celebrated and supported Friends of the Reedy River since 2008,” said Lisa Cooper, President of Mast Store, underlining the importance of community partnerships.
Recovery Support Initiatives
In recognition of National Recovery Month, the Recovery Centers of America are expanding their services to support those affected by substance use disorders. They will be holding educational sessions aimed at raising awareness and providing tools for recovery. Lisa Goodnough, CEO, noted, “Recovery goes beyond treating the individual; it involves supporting the entire family and community.”
Whether it’s providing financial and emotional support or fostering connections through social events, Greenville is dedicated to building a stronger, more caring community for everyone. It’s a great time to get involved, contribute, and celebrate the stories and efforts of those making a difference right here in the upstate.
