Anyone who is familiar with Karrl knows he is an incredibly kind, generous and beloved community member who goes above and beyond to help those in need. Unfortunately, Karrl is now in need of support. In response, a group of friends has organized fundraising campaigns and this event to help alleviate some of the financial burden from his prolonged hospital stay as well as the cost of post-surgical therapies and recovery.
81C invites everyone to join it at this event to celebrate local artists, enjoy great live music by Andy Easton, savor delightful wines, win raffle prizes and demonstrate why the St. Thomas community is truly exceptional.
