Community Grief Support will hold its 19th annual fundraiser, “Lift Your Spirits: Permission to Play,” on July 21 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Vestavia Country Club.
The beach party themed event will feature silent and live auctions, and “fund-a-need” managed by Christie King of C King Benefit Auctions. There will be lawn games, a DJ, dancing, a buffet and signature cocktails, according to a news release from Community Grief Support.
The event is sponsored by EBSCO, Regions Bank, Vulcan Materials, Barbara Lummis/ARC Realty, Michael Hicks Services and Piggly Wiggly. This is the organization’s first in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Tickets and tables are being pre-sold through July 15 at https://www.communitygrief support.org/lys/.
All proceeds will benefit the organization’s free services and programs for individuals and families in need. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for bereaved adults who face the challenge of rebuilding their lives without their loved ones. Each year since 1996, Community Grief Support has benefitted more than 20 grief support groups in 11 communities and community grief education throughout the area.
