Giving back to the community...
Each month we raise money and awareness for local organizations that we think are doing great things in Western North Carolina. We have done raffles and silent auctions to raise money, and also coat drives and toy drives. Currently we are donating 1% of our monthly income to a different organization each month. There are so many wonderful organizations in Asheville, and this feels like a way we can contribute to more than a handful.
We also offer ongoing free classes at the Pack Memorial Library, and a fundraiser Pilates with Puppies class for the Asheville Humane Society. For more info and to register for those classes, click here.
