All About Table Hosting

Thank you for considering hosting a table at our Rise & Shine breakfast on Thursday, October 13th in Asheville. It’s a powerful, fun, and easy way for you to help bring the healing power of the arts to children and families in the hospital in our community. Our breakfast is a simple, mission-focused event, where people who know Arts For Life best – like families and medical providers – share their experience with our program.

All Arts For Life supporters are invited to be a table host. All you need is a few friends, family, or colleagues you would like to connect with Arts For Life at Rise and Shine, and YOU can be a table host. While the event is free to attend (and there is no cost to host a table!), we will ask attendees to consider making a gift to support Arts For Life at the end of the breakfast.

How to Host a Table at Rise and Shine

  1. Register online confirming your attendance and participation as a TABLE HOST.
  2. Invite friends, family, and colleagues to fill a table of 10 people who are interested in learning more about and supporting Arts For Life. You may also recruit a friend to co-host a table together.
  3. Share the event page + registration link with your guests so they can RSVP by registering online. Check out our toolkit for printable invitations, social media images, and more.
