Kingswood Home for Children will be hosting its 2nd annual ladies fellowship luncheon fundraiser themed Bloom Where you are Planted on August 19 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

The luncheon will have fellowship and discussion led by Carolyn Pankalla who is a Christian music artist from Orlando Florida. Pankalla, has performed at the White House for Ronald Reagan and has also been featured on multiple TV shows.

Pankalla’s single “Broken into Beautiful” hit No. 22 in the charts and her song “Veterans of the USA” was No. 1 on the CMT video awards.

Last year’s fundraiser sold 172 seats and they hope to fill as many this year. A silent auction and gift card prizes will be available as well. All proceeds go towards helping displaced children at Kingswood Home for Children.

Tickets are $25 each and sponsorships are available.
