- **Event Description**: Join us for an afternoon of love, laughter, and giving back as we rally around our friend Michael Starkey- a mother, educator, and fierce advocate for children in our community. Michael is a mom to twin boys who attend Athens City Schools (where she works) and has spent her career lifting others up through her work as an administrator, educator, and volunteer on the CASA board and the Children's Conservation League. Now, it is our turn to show up for her. 

Earlier this spring, Michael was diagnosed with Stage 2 gastroesophageal junction cancer. She is currently undergoing some of the most intense chemotherapy available and will soon face a major surgery, followed by additional chemo and immunotherapy. While she focuses on healing, we are throwing a party with purpose to help support her and her family during this time. 

What to Expect:
-Silent Auction & Raffles including big ticket prizes like Bounty on the Brick passes, and gift cards to V's Hair Studio, Luxe Beauty & Aesthetics, and more
-Cold drinks, warm hearts, and the joy of community 
-Live music starts at 6 PM, so stay and enjoy the band, Take 2

Whether you come to bid, sip, laugh, or just hug it out-we'd love to see you. Any amount helps, and your presence means the world.
