19th Hole Concerts to continue Thursday

Posted

The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado, in partnership with the Pagosa Springs Golf Club, is sponsoring the second of four 19th Hole Concerts this Thursday, June 12.

The featured artist this week is Jackson Mountain Ramblers, and the featured nonprofit is Project Sanctuary.

Project Sanctuary is honored to be selected to participate in its first 19th Hole Concert Series.

Project Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization headquartered in Pagosa Springs. Project Sanctuary was founded in 2007 based on the principle that when one person serves, the whole family serves in the military, and understanding the best way to support the troops meant creating an organization that supports the entire family.

Project Sanctuary is a leading provider of therapeutic retreats and ongoing support for military families by reconnecting and empowering the entire family toward healing.

Throughout the year, Project Sanctuary hosts six-day therapeutic retreats offered at no cost to military families.

Since 2007, Project Sanctuary has hosted 313 therapeutic retreats, serving a total of 2,659 participants.

Patriot Pines is the Project Sanctuary retreat center, located off U.S. 84.

Project Sanctuary is excited to connect more with the local community and extend a sincere appreciation to its new hometown. It is always seeking dedicated volunteers to assist with retreats.

To connect with Project Sanctuary, please visit website at www.projectsanctuary.us or send an email to info@projectsanctuary.us.

Food, beer and wine will be available for purchase. No outside food, drink or pets will be allowed. Concertgoers should bring a camping chair or blanket — or both — to take full advantage of a summer evening in the Rocky Mountains.

The 19th Hole Concerts are held every Thursday in June from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club.

The cover charge is a $10 donation that supports the four nonprofits selected through the month of June. Corporate sponsors cover event expenses, allowing all proceeds at the end of the series to be pooled and distributed equally to the featured organizations. The collaborative approach to the concerts is vital to their success.
