We're absolutely thrilled to announce our 3rd annual springtime fundraiser Hope is in Bloom to be held once again at Highland Brewing Company's beautiful Event Space on Thursday, May 22nd from 5:30pm-8pm!

Join us for a fun evening of live music by The Lefties, delicious locally made appetizers from Chai Pani, Twisted Laurel, and Bear's Smokehouse BBQ, and networking with friends who share our compassion for Blue Ridge neighbors in times of need of mental health support.

During the event we will present the Pam Penland Mental Health Champion Award. Since 2022, this award celebrates an individual who has shown dedication and commitment to improving the mental health landscape in Western North Carolina and ensuring those with barriers to care have access to affordable counseling.

We invite you to help us raise awareness around mental health issues and to grow the resources we’ll need to continue this critical work in the year ahead. Our evening's program will feature guest speakers who will share on the mental health landscape in Western North Carolina. 

We are so energized to host a festive and friend-filled night to showcase and thank the amazing staff, counselors, volunteers, sponsors, community partners, and individuals who have been pivotal to All Souls Counseling Center’s growth and impact. As a Hope is in Bloom 2025 ticket purchaser, YOU become a valued mental health supporter, too!
