Table for Three raffle
Apr 10 all-day
online

Tickets for our 2024 Table for Three raffle will go on sale March 15, 2024! Table for Three is MANNA’s partnership with the Asheville-area’s nationally-recognized independent restaurant scene. You could win an incredible grand prize: a meal for two at 52 of the Asheville-area’s top local restaurants. That’s a year’s worth of dining out at a value of more than $3,000!

The best part is that each ticket supports MANNA’s vital work to provide food to Western North Carolina neighbors struggling to make ends meet. With every ticket sold, we can provide enough food to feed one person a daily meal … for more than an entire year. That’s why we call it Table for Three!

TICKETS ARE $124

Table for Three raffle tickets are $124 each. This is a very intentional ticket price: $124 is what it costs MANNA to feed one person a meal a day for more than one year. With every ticket purchased, you help set the table for a neighbor facing food insecurity.

THE GRAND PRIZE

The winner will receive gift certificates to 52 different Asheville-area restaurants. The gift certificates are transferrable, so you can share them with friends and family, give them as client gifts, or, of course, use them all yourself!

Gift certificates do not include tax or gratuity and cannot be used for alcohol. Some restaurants may limit use during holidays or special events. Certificates can be used for dine-in or carry-out service in cases where the restaurant offers the carry-out option.

THE WINNER

A single winner will be drawn via livestream on MANNA’s Facebook page on or before Friday, May 15. All raffle ticket holders will be notified in advance of the exact day and time of the drawing. Ticketholders do not need to be tuned into the livestream to win.

PAWS FOR A PURPOSE
Apr 12 all-day
Asheville Area

– Blue Ridge Humane Society (BRHS) invites the community to
participate in Paws for a Purpose, a signature fundraising weekend bringing together local businesses
and individuals to raise awareness and funds to support their mission of ensuring the highest quality of
life for animals in Henderson County and surrounding communities.

Local businesses are encouraged to host fundraisers throughout the weekend, and can include donating
a percentage of sales, hosting a pet supply donation drive, hosting a pint night or yappy hour or creating
an individual celebration that includes a raffle or contest with proceeds benefitting BRHS. Individuals are
also encouraged to host parties with friends, neighbors or co-workers. Parties can be at their favorite
establishment, a neighborhood clubhouse or at the office and can include sit-down dinners, block
parties, or pet supply drives, for example.
“This signature fundraising event has become a community favorite over the last four years because of
its creative and inclusive nature,” said BRHS Executive Director Angela Prodrick. “Individuals and
businesses empower others to contribute as much or as little as they desire in the course of one
weekend, and these collective efforts amount to a significant impact for our organization. Together, we
can save local animals in our neighborhoods by supporting small, locally owned businesses.”

Poetry as Prayer
Apr 19 @ 6:00 pm
Asheville Salt Cave | Massage & Salt Spa Therapy
Together we will create a gentle space to nurture ourselves forward this season using breath, slow flow movement, and poetry. No writing experience is necessary, just an open heart, body, mind.
February 23 & April 19th @ 6pm Let’s come together during this full moon with intentions of slowing-in to the senses, nourishing our bodies with gentle sensuous movement and poetry as prayer. Poet, Doula, and Women’s Counselor Tiffany Narron will guide us along in a heart-warming circle to sink into our parasympathetic nervous systems with breath and somatic movement and explore reading and writing poetry as prayer. Together we will move to the rhythm of our breath and explore the language of our bodies in a warm, nourishing flow, reading excerpts of poetry centered on enchantment and the senses to then share and write in response as you feel called, leaving with an intentional poetic prayer of your own for this season. No writing experience is necessary, just an open heart, body, mind. Come as you are, share as you’re comfortable. Nourish your body and harvest your poetic prayer for the season. Reserve your space below. Space is limited.

The best part is that each ticket supports MANNA’s vital work to provide food to Western North Carolina neighbors struggling to make ends meet. With every ticket sold, we can provide enough food to feed one person a daily meal … for more than an entire year. That’s why we call it Table for Three!

TICKETS ARE $124

Table for Three raffle tickets are $124 each. This is a very intentional ticket price: $124 is what it costs MANNA to feed one person a meal a day for more than one year. With every ticket purchased, you help set the table for a neighbor facing food insecurity.

THE GRAND PRIZE

The winner will receive gift certificates to 52 different Asheville-area restaurants. The gift certificates are transferrable, so you can share them with friends and family, give them as client gifts, or, of course, use them all yourself!

Gift certificates do not include tax or gratuity and cannot be used for alcohol. Some restaurants may limit use during holidays or special events. Certificates can be used for dine-in or carry-out service in cases where the restaurant offers the carry-out option.

THE WINNER

A single winner will be drawn via livestream on MANNA’s Facebook page on or before Friday, May 15. All raffle ticket holders will be notified in advance of the exact day and time of the drawing. Ticketholders do not need to be tuned into the livestream to win. The winner will be asked to come to MANNA (on a day and time following the drawing, and agreed upon by the winner and MANNA), to claim their prize. And then … let the dining begin!

THE FINE PRINT

Tickets are $124 each. The drawing will take place on/before May 15, 2024, via livestream on MANNA’s Facebook page. Only 500 tickets will be sold. This is a fundraising project, and all ticket sales benefit MANNA FoodBank. Tickets may be sold to MANNA employees, board members, and other affiliated individuals. The Table for Three Raffle is open only to those who are 18 years of age or older as of March 14, 2023, and who possess a valid government-issued ID. Ticketholders do not need to be tuned in to the livestream to win. According to Internal Revenue Service regulations, no portion of the raffle ticket purchase qualifies as a tax-deductible donation.

? They Said What ? w/ WomanSong
Apr 23 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Highland Brewing Company

WomanSong of Asheville is back and excited to take on HART Theatre April 23rd at Highland Brewing Company @12 Old Charlotte Highway.

Asheville – Get ready for an exhilarating local game show that combines the excitement of competition with the creative energy of the performing arts. We are thrilled to announce the launch of ‘?They Said What?’, a monthly game show based on a conglomeration of popular game shows you know and love. ‘?They Said What?’ will feature local performing arts organizations in a head-to-head competition, not for audiences, but to win financial support for their respective organizations. The winning team will walk away with half the gross proceeds from the evening’s ticket sales.

?They Said What?’ is set to revolutionize the world of local game shows by bringing together Asheville’s vibrant performing arts community and the thrill of audience participation. On the third Wednesday of each month, five (5) representatives each, from two local performing arts organizations will take center stage and go head-to-head, testing their knowledge and quick thinking. The winning team will earn half of the ticket sales from that month’s show. The other half will be dedicated to production expenses. This unique concept aims to support and celebrate the local performing arts community by providing a financial incentive to the winning organization. “We are incredibly excited to unveil ‘?They Said What?‘ to performing arts organizations and to the wider community,” said Stephanie Hickling Beckman, Different Strokes’ executive director. “By combining the thrill of competition with the mission of supporting local performing arts organizations, we hope to create a memorable experience for both participants and audiences.”

All shows begin at 6:00 pm and will be hosted by Different Strokes’ very own Zakiya Bell-Rogers, who will guide the teams and engage the audience throughout the competition. Audiences can expect an entertaining, and hilarious showdown as local nonprofit organizations compete for bragging rights and financial support. WomanSong of Asheville, returns on April 17th to face HART Theatre.

You can participate now, by helping us to build our survey question database by answering these ‘?They Said What?’ Survey Questions. If you are a part of  a non-profit that would like to compete for your organization, please complete this application
