Songwriters Round
Written By: A.J. Stewart | Issue: 2018/08 - August
This year marks the 40th anniversary of Blue Ridge School in Cashiers.
It provides quality education to the students of Cashiers, Glenville and Sapphire and the Early College gives graduating seniors a leg up on continuing their education. To help fund the edification of the children of the Plateau, The Blue Ridge School Education Foundation was founded in 2002. The Foundation was established on the principle that “It takes a village.” The foundation maintains that the active involvement of parents, businesses and communities with the school and its administration leads to success and pride for everyone.
In the spirit of community involvement, join The Blue Ridge School Education Foundation on September 15 as they present the 11th Annual Songwriters Round at Trillium Links & Lake Club. The sole fundraising event for the foundation, the Songwriter’s Round features Grammy Award-winning songwriter Rivers Rutherford.
Rivers visits Cashiers every year for the Round, accompanied by a group of fellow writers and entertainers. The doors will open at 6:30 P.M. for dinner and social hour. Local Features will be presented at 7:30 P.M., and the Round Concert will begin at 8:00 P.M.. The Round will end around 10:00 P.M.
The foundation uses the proceeds from the event to directly benefit the schools by providing supplemental resources to enrich the educational experience for both students and staff. The proceeds are generated by three tiers of participation. For $300, you can be a Bronze Sponsor and receive reserved seating with two tickets and a poster. Silver Sponsors, for $600, will receive all of the benefits of a Bronze sponsor in addition to two additional tickets and VIP parking with shuttle service. Gold Sponsors, for $1,500, will receive all of the benefits of Silver Sponsors plus six additional tickets (for a total of 10) and a reserved table for the dinner and concert. All sponsors will receive recognition at the Round as well as in local advertising. Individual tickets are $100 and will be available at the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce.
