A Wonderful Cause!

I think one of my favorite things about writing The Permanent Tourist is sharing with others, connecting, learning and helping the community as a result of it all. So when my friend, Betsy Knight, also my favorite dog groomer, let me know about the upcoming event being sponsored by the Wainwright Family Foundation I knew this was an opportunity not to be missed. I’m writing today about the event that will take place on December 13th at 4:00 pm. This concert will feature Dierks Bentley and Thomas Rhett in concert. Adam Wainwright, local boy now Cardinal’s baseball star, and his wife have put this all together and what an even it will be!

What got my attention and what I love about this event is the sharing that is involved. And I want to shine a light on Betsy as a volunteer who is going the extra mile to sell tickets. The Wainwright’s approached all of the various non-profits in the area to help with ticket sales and as part of that, they are sharing the proceeds. Tickets are $45.00, $5.00 goes for parking at the Glynn County Football Stadium and the Foundation is splitting the remaining $40.00, $20.00 each, with the non-profit’s involved in selling tickets. What a great idea for a new Foundation who is making a mark on the community and giving back in such a generous way!

Betsy has 100 tickets to sell and she says she will even deliver them to your home or office! Now, having known Betsy for a couple of years now, I am not surprised at her energy and willingness to go the extra mile. Both Betsy and her mother, Lucy Loehle, are involved with our local Safe Harbor, home for boys and girls in Brunswick. The hundred tickets Betsy has to sell will bring $2,000 to Safe Harbor! You can reach Betsy on her cell phone: #912-223-1193 and/or email betsyssi@gmail.com to let her know you’re interested in purchasing a ticket. You only have 10 days left to make your purchase so don’t wait!

Here is the complete list of other groups who are offering ticket sales as well! Very impressive! Choose the organization you’d like to help with fundraising and make a difference!

And here’s a sample of what you’ll hear when you attend the concert. This recording includes Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett and Miranda Lambert performing “Bad Angel” at a concert in 2013.
