We’ve been busy here at Pisgah Health Foundation working on Camp Bluebird 2023 which will be hosted at the Bonclarken Conference Center, in historic Flat Rock, NC, October 17-19. Camp Bluebird is a special program that can benefit adult cancer survivors at any point throughout their journey. This will be our first three-day Camp since pre-Covid, and we are excited at the plans falling into place. To learn more about Camp Bluebird visit www.CampBluebirdWNC.org. |
The signature event is sure to delight guests once again with a live symphony orchestra playing classical pieces to the choreographed movements of extraordinarily gifted dressage riders and their Grand Prix horses.
This year, Brooke USA inaugurates its own musical ensemble, the Dorothy Brooke Orchestra, dedicated to promoting the welfare of working horses, donkeys and mules and the people they serve across the globe. Named after Dorothy Brooke, the founder of the Brooke family of charities, the orchestra, directed by Kyle Elgarten, Assistant Conductor for the Palm Beach Symphony, is comprised of leading musicians from North and South Carolina.
“The experience of live orchestral music with musical freestyle dressage is simply captivating and unlike anything else I had ever seen. Last year, I had the privilege of attending the event and fell in love with Divertimentos & Dressage, not to mention that Brooke USA is a charity very close to my heart,” said Sharon Decker, Chair of this year’s Divertimentos & Dressage and President, Carolinas Operations, Tryon Equestrian Partners at Tryon Resort/Tryon International Equestrian Center.
Starting with registration at 6:00 PM, guests will enjoy a pre-performance reception with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Promptly at 7:00 PM, guests will be treated to a one-hour performance. This year for the evening of music and freestyle dressage, individual adult tickets are $90 per person. To purchase individual tickets, a ringside table at $1,150, or to learn more about other sponsorship and ticket opportunities, please visit BrookeUSAevents.org.
Divertimentos & Dressage is an exciting event that supports the life-saving work of Brooke USA. Brooke USA strives to alleviate the suffering of working horses, donkeys and mules, and the people who depend on them for survival in vulnerable communities across the globe. In fact, 100 million working equines support the lives of 600 million of the poorest people on earth. These animals are the backbone of communities and their best means of making a living. Without healthy working horses, donkeys, and mules, they would not be able to put food on their tables, send their children to school or build better futures for themselves and their families.
“Divertimentos & Dressage is a fantastic opportunity for Brooke USA to expand awareness for our organization while providing the community with an exciting and unique event,” stated Sally Frick, Chair of the Brooke USA Foothills Advisory Council, a member of Brooke USA’s Board of Directors, amateur equestrian, and professional flutist. “The event is so successful that Brooke USA has made a commitment to replicating Divertimentos & Dressage in other markets. This last Spring, we held it for the first time in Wellington, FL and it was a resounding success,” added Frick.
About Brooke USA Foundation (Brooke USA): The mission of Brooke USA is to significantly improve the health, welfare and productivity of working horses, donkeys and mules and the people who depend on them for survival worldwide. We are committed to sustainable economic development by reducing poverty, increasing food security, ensuring access to water, providing a means to education, and raising basic standards of living through improved equine health and welfare. We accomplish this by raising funds and responsibly directing them to the areas of greatest need.
Brooke USA strives to alleviate the suffering and vulnerability of developing communities by funding and implementing programs that improve the quality of life and health of working equines and thereby positively impacting their economic sustainability, protecting the planet, ensuring gender equality, and guaranteeing life on land resilience. We want to see healthy, happy people and equines that work in partnership to achieve sustainable local economies.

30th Annual Auction for a Cause Kickoff Promises Unprecedented Impact on Spartanburg Community
SPARTANBURG, SC – As the leaves begin to turn and the spirit of giving permeates the air, the Uptown Sertoma Club proudly announces the much-anticipated 30th Annual Auction for a Cause Kickoff Party, slated to take place on Wednesday, October 25th, at the exquisite Indigo Hall in Spartanburg. This milestone event promises an electrifying fusion of philanthropy and festivity, igniting a fire of support that has been transforming the Spartanburg community for over two decades.
Boasting an astonishing legacy of success, the Uptown Sertoma Club, in partnership with dedicated nonprofit agencies, has channeled over $1.3 million directly into the very heart of Spartanburg. This monumental feat has been achieved through the steadfast commitment of the Uptown Sertoma Club, orchestrating every facet of the Auction for a Cause event, while the participating agencies rally donations for the auction. A harmonious synergy of collaboration that has created a legacy of positive change year after year.
The success of the previous year’s endeavor paved the way for innovation and inclusivity. Embracing the challenge, the Auction expanded into both an exhilarating in-person event and an equally vibrant virtual silent auction. The results were nothing short of extraordinary: a sold-out crowd, an astonishing 470 featured items, a staggering 2,700 bids submitted, and a record-breaking $70,749.91 raised. A testament to the community’s unwavering support for causes that matter.
Eager to exceed expectations yet again, the 30th Annual Auction for a Cause Kickoff Party promises an unforgettable evening at Indigo Hall on October 25th. Attendees will indulge in a delectable Low Country Boil, tantalizing appetizers, delightful desserts, refreshing beverages, and the soul-stirring rhythm of live music. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The subsequent nine days will witness the fervor of the Virtual Silent Auction, culminating in a grand finale on Friday, November 3rd. With the entire bidding experience seamlessly accessible via smartphones, participants can revel in the thrill of the auction, track their bids, and receive real-time updates – all at their fingertips.
Integral to this remarkable endeavor are Spartanburg’s cherished nonprofit agencies. The Bethlehem Center, The Haven, Project R.E.S.T., Upstate Family Resource Center, Ruth’s Gleanings, and Camp Sertoma exemplify the spirit of compassion and change that Auction for a Cause embodies. These esteemed organizations, serving the community’s diverse needs, rely on the event as their pinnacle fundraising opportunity, enabling them to amplify their impact and continue their invaluable work.
The Uptown Sertoma Club extends a warm invitation to citizens, businesses, and philanthropists to engage with this transformative event through sponsorship, donations, and active participation in the auction. Hundreds of remarkable items will grace the auction block, offering a remarkable array of choices for those eager to give while receiving something extraordinary in return.
Be part of a legacy that uplifts lives and empowers communities. Join us at the Kickoff Party and experience the exhilaration of a live auction that reverberates far beyond the event itself. Secure your place at this extraordinary celebration and support a cause that truly encapsulates the spirit of giving back. Registration and tickets for the Kickoff Party are available online at www.auction4acause.net.
