Join us in a celebration for a cause, bringing light and resources to suicide awareness and mental health with an interactive music and art experience. This inaugural event is inspired and dedicated to singer/songwriter Kiela Gwin, who died of suicide at the age of 27 in 2019. During this unique and uplifting event, we will come together to hear Kiela's beautiful music, interactively paint a mural that honors all loved ones lost to suicide, and raise money for the incredible work of local nonprofit, Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOSL). There will also be a silent auction, DJ and hors d'oeuvres. All proceeds from this event will go directly to SOSL. In bringing this fundraiser to life, we are hoping to shine a light on the issues surrounding suicide and give people an avenue to come out of the shadows and celebrate the lives of those lost together, making this a topic of discussion for everyone to have –not just those directly affected. Date | Thursday, February 24 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Location | FruitCraft Fermentery & Distillery Get tickets here! General admission: $40 VIP admission: $100 Premium + Art admission: $75 Donations are highly appreciated. We will have a live stream of the event available on the Catch Your Light Facebook page for those who cannot attend in person.
