Balsam Range to play KARE fundraiser

Acclaimed bluegrass group Balsam Range will play the Kids Advocacy Resource Effort’s (KARE) 4th annual Festival of Trees fundraiser at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, at Laurel Ridge Country Club in Waynesville. 

The event will begin with a cocktail hour and live entertainment. Dinner will be served with a live auction to follow. Local artists, merchants, and creative folk will contribute ornately decorated trees, centrepieces, and other handmade creations for the live and silent auction, which will immediately follow dinner. 

A renowned act from Haywood County, Balsam Range recently won the International Bluegrass Music Association’s award for “Entertainer of the Year,” “Vocal Group of the Year,” and “Male Vocalist of the Year.”

KARE is Haywood County’s only Child Advocacy Center and provides services to child victims of abuse and their families through its Victim Advocacy Program.  KARE also offers parenting classes through the Positive Parenting Program, and creative, individualized developmental skill-building activities through its Parents As Teachers Program.

All proceeds will directly benefit KARE’s programs.

Tickets are $65 per person or $500 per table of eight.
