MANY THANKS to all who pitched in, selling tickets, buying tickets, spreading the word, calculating online entries and wishing us well. Of course, our deepest gratitude is to Brevard Music Center for the best ever donation of four front row tickets to the Mavis Staples concert and a pre-concert dinner in one of their new “Gazebos on the Green.”

Our gross proceeds totaled $1110.

The concert package includes a catered pre-concert dinner from, Quixote Restaurant, who provide menu options, personal service, setup and cleanup, a $400 value.

Picture yourself and three others dear to you in the front row for a summer evening with living legend Mavis Staples
in concert at Brevard Music Center’s Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium.
You’ll be front and center in the powerful presence of the iconic voice of gospel, soul, and folk anthems.
