This fall, Atlanta’s established nonprofit that works to create a healthy and sustainable environment and operates two CHaRM locations welcomes supporters to its annual fundraiser, A CHaRM’ing Evening presented by Cox Enterprises. Featuring a performance by Yacht Rock Revue, the band known and loved for its nostalgic, soft rock sounds, the event supports Live Thrive’s educational initiatives, as well as its CHaRM (Center for Hard to Recycle Materials) facilities operations.

In addition to the Yacht Rock Revue performance, guests at A CHaRM’ing Evening will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine and cocktails. They will join fellow sustainability enthusiasts who know protecting the environment is an endeavor in which everyone can play an important role.

In the 16 years since Live Thrive was founded by Peggy Whitlow Ratcliffe, the organization has continuously expanded to benefit more local communities. So far this year, Live Thrive has welcomed more than 40,000 visitors to its two CHaRM locations, hosted more than 1,200 children for field trips and provided 19 metro-Atlanta schools with STE(A)M Grants, among many other successes.

A CHaRM’ing Evening offers eco-conscious individuals and businesses a relaxed, entertaining opportunity to celebrate these important milestones and ensure their continuation.
