Sing For The Cure
Mar 28 @ 7:00 pm
Peace Center

The Greenville Gay Men’s Chorus will present Sing For The Cure, a major choral/orchestral work, at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 28 at the Peace Center’s Gunter Theatre in downtown Greenville. Tickets are now available through the Peace Center Box Office.

The performance will feature the 35-member men’s chorus in collaboration with the Greenville Chamber Singers and members of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Shelton Ridge Love. Greenville Poet Laureate Glenis Redmond will narrate.

Since its commissioning for the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Dallas premier in 2000, Sing For The Cure has been performed hundreds of times worldwide. The eleven song choral collection features orchestra and narration, expressing the kaleidoscope of experiences and emotions surrounding the disease.
According to Artistic Director Shelton Ridge Love, the Chorus sees the work as a fitting extension of the GGMC mission to build community: “because most everyone is touched in some way by breast cancer, we are pleased to celebrate advances that have been made in detection and treatment. We honor both the survivors and those we’ve lost to the disease.”

Community choruses nationwide will present Sing For The Cure over the coming months, marking 25 years since its premier. In November, these groups will gather in New York City to mount a 250-voice production at Lincoln Center.

Kathy LaTour, a breast cancer survivor who was part of the original production in Dallas, says of the work, “The music is amazing and swings the audience from the joy of life to the pain of loss and back again.”

For tickets go to peacecenter.org or call the Box Office at 864-467-3000.

Greenville Woodworkers Guild Education Center

The 2025 Spring Tool Sale and Auction by Greenville Woodworkers Guild will be held on Saturday, April 19, from 8 am to 11 am at 209 Hollyridge Ct, Greenville, SC 29607.

Throughout the year the guild’s tool team gathers tools and equipment from owners to be sold in two sales events (depending on the quantity of tools collected). These events are conducted at the Guild Education Center. They include fixed priced items for instant purchase and silent auction bid items.

Generally, the consignee / donor contacts the Guild and the tool team takes care of everything else. The tool team retrieves all the owner’s items at the owner’s location, transports the items to the Guild, cleans the items, prices the inventory, conducts a sale and distributes the proceeds back to the consignees. Items remaining after the tool sale are donated to a variety of charities throughout Greenville County.

All items are barcoded and we use a Point-of-Sale system to collect payment during the sale. To make checkout as smooth and fast as possible, the Guild prefers Credit or Debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay.

Cash will be accepted but please, no checks.

For more information, please contact the tool sale / auction team at [email protected].
