Flourish Foundation will celebrate the Joy of Community at its annual Summer Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, at Ketchum’s Limelight Hotel.
The fundraising event will feature an interactive presentation, reflective practices, discussions for building human connection, a locally sourced meal, an online auction and a paddle up.
Tickets start at $50 and are available at https://flourishfoundation.ejoinme.org/joyofcommunitytickets.
Funds raised help the Flourish Foundation support mental health and personal growth in kindergarten through 12th grade students, as well as adults. Flourish Foundation facilitators teach mindfulness and encourage compassionate action and environmental stewardship.
The organization also cultivates young leaders via guided trips to countries like India and Mexico where youth take part in community building and work projects and share with peers from those countries.
