Take The Plunge for Health!
Aug 25 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Kanuga Lake

This fun and family-friendly lakeside celebration will support The Free Clinics and its unique healthy living program, HealthWays, which makes good health contagious in our community.

Local celebrities, including Superintendent Bo Caldwell, WTZQ’s Mark Warwick & Paige Posey, Vision Henderson County’s Ruth Birge, Major Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office, and The Free Clinics’s own Judith Long will be lined up on the tossing block where bidders can vie for the chance to push them in the lake.   Infamous auction-tainers Duke & Bird will lead the sure-to-be raucous event, awarding the “Early Bird”, “Hot Ticket”, and “Golden Plunger” awards to the “Plungees” who bring in the most donations in advance, at the event, and in total respectively.

Community members who want to see a Plungee “take the plunge” can visit them in person to fill their donation buckets, make contributions online, or on-site at the event. All Plungee and event proceeds will support The Free Clinics and its HealthWays program, a free community health program open to all Henderson and Polk residents.

Event attendees will enjoy wood-fired pizza from Flat Rock Village Bakery, burgers and hot dogs from Kanuga, and a selection of craft beers, cider, and soft drinks. Live music will be provided by Hendersonville’s TNT Band, specializing in popular rock and country oldies. Children will enjoy the lifeguarded splash and play area and face-painting, while all guests can partake in swimming, kayaking, games, and fun photo opportunities.

Plungee Ruth Birge says, “I am so lucky to be included in The Plunge. Who wouldn’t want a chance at winning the “Golden Plunger”?! I mean, what an honor! Really, such fun. By the way, does anyone have a really big inner tube I can use so I won’t have to go all the way under? Yikes!”

“After 14 years working in healthcare in our community, I know someone has longed to push me in the lake. Well, now’s your chance. Give in to that urge…and help our vulnerable neighbors at the same time,” dares TFC’s executive director Judith Long.

Tickets are on sale now for $20 for adults (13yrs+) and $5 for children (5-12 yrs). Children under 5 are free. Family tickets are available for $45 to admit two guardians plus children. Admission includes one food item and one beverage per person, with additional food and beverages available for purchase.

To purchase a ticket or make a celebrity pledge, please call 828-697-8422 or order online at thefreeclinics.org/plunge.

On Friday, September 6th, Asheville Investment Club (AIC) will host Big Scary Fish Tank, a fundraiser for local nonprofit, OnTrack WNC, as the capstone event of Asheville Entrepreneurship Week. The soirée will be held at the historic Asheville Masonic Temple where its exquisite, century-old theatre will serve as backdrop for the main attraction: a live pitch event wherein four local companies compete for $500,000 from local investors. The judge’s panel, made up of three core members from AIC and one guest from the community, will champion, challenge, and critique the contestants before proposing a deal. Audience members will also have an opportunity to vote for their favorite pitch, with the winner receiving a $5,000 investment.

Preceding the event will be an additional networking, cocktail, and hors d’ouervs hour. Noble Cider’s newest venture, The Greenhouse, will provide a premier selection of locally brewed craft beer, interesting wines, superb cider, and two specialty themed cocktails. 67 Biltmore, known for elevated catered options, will be supplying the canapés. Through the hallway and into the theatre, guests will have an opportunity to step into an alternate world with an immersive virtual reality experience brought to you by Better Than Unicorns.

All proceeds will benefit local nonprofit, OnTrack WNC, who’s mission is to educate, counsel and support people in reaching their money and housing goals so they can overcome crises, afford basic needs, improve money management skills and make sound financial choices rooted in their values.

Tickets now on sale for Big Scary Fish Tank, to take place Friday, September 6, 2019, from 6-9pm. The evening will be an ideal networking opportunity for entrepreneurs, community leaders, and all-around movers and shakers of Asheville. Expected attendees include founders, CEOs, investors, politicians, bloggers, media, and members of the local community.
