Love + Light for Melissa Fundraising Event

Baltimore, MD - On a warm August evening last summer, beneath twinkling lights, candlelit torches, and a collection of handcrafted dream catchers strung overhead, hundreds gathered at Clipper Mill Pool to support the recovery of Shine Creative co-founder Melissa Kirby—a pioneering presence in Baltimore’s creative community who suffered multiple brain stem strokes after a sudden collapse two years ago. Now, in an effort to help cover the costs Kirby’s of ongoing medical care, her friends and family are hosting another Love + Light for Melissa fundraiser at the pool on Saturday.   This year, the benefit will feature an expanded food lineup.  Live entertainment will be provided by DJ Impulse and a silent auction will showcase local artwork, vacation homes, and gift certificates to various restaurants and salons. www.fundraising-ideas.org
