Learn Plain Weave, Clasped Weft & Hemstitching! Sunday, January 25, 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. Have you wanted to dive into the mindful, rhythmic, magic of weaving?

The devastation of the LA fires impacted so many people, and the recovery path for families with special needs is even more daunting. TERI has learned that over 240 homes burned within L.A.’s special needs community, and as a response, has put together a community event to raise funds for our neighbors up north. On February 1, TERI will host a benefit concert to help support special needs families impacted by the LA fires. Restoring Hope: A Benefit Concert for Special Needs Families will take place at The Bornemann Theatre, located at TERI Campus of Life, and will begin at 3:30 p.m. 100% of proceeds from the benefit concert will support three L.A. Regional Centers working directly with families with kids, adults, and seniors with special needs. Tickets for the concert can be purchased online and are $50 for general admission and $75 for front row seating. TERI Common Grounds Café will be open for lunch, dinner and concessions stands during the concert. The benefit concert will feature unforgettable performances by: Sara Jade Band – Captivating vocals and soulful melodies. [3:30 p.m. - 4 p.m.] Adin Boyer – American Idol and Autism advocate. [4:15 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.] Never Die Young – A James Taylor tribute band celebrating timeless classics. [5 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.] Jimmy Buffet – A tribute to Jimmy Buffett’s breezy, feel-good anthems. [6 p.m. - 7 p.m.] TERI asks that if you cannot attend the concert, the public consider making a generous donation. Online donations can also be made here. 100% of every gift will support frontline L.A. agencies in direct care of the special kids, adults, and seniors. Every dollar helps restore special lives that are dramatically disrupted in so many ways, far beyond the firestorm tragedies. Together, we can make a difference far beyond the fires, helping to rebuild lives and brighten futures. Purchase tickets here and join us for an evening of inspiration, music, and hope.
