Covid-19 hasn't stopped the GreenWorks community from making an impact on local rivers and communities throughout WNC — so we're adapting our 8th Annual Root Ball End of Season Party to celebrate our collective impact, quarantine-style! Instead of an in-person evening of dinner, dancing, plus our silent auction of uniquely Asheville items and a native plant + tree raffle, we’re making it all accessible online. We hope you'll join the fun!
A VIRTUAL DANCE PARTY
Join us on Friday, October 16 from 7-9PM to dance with a live DJ spinning groove-worthy tunes for the whole family. Mark your calendars, gather your pod, and plan your technology** to cast the party to the big screen!
(**We're putting together a "cheat sheet" to help, but you can email us at [email protected] if you have specific questions as we get closer to the event.)
Festivities Include...
Show us your flair and help us celebrate a season of hard work to help keep our urban rivers and greenspaces clean, beautiful, and accessible for all to enjoy!

Use the hashtag #RootBall2020 and tag us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
- A special dance party appearance by the Asheville Bag Monster. (What will he be up to? No good, we're sure!)
- Raffle prizes! Every dance party ticket holder will be entered to win a host of awesome offerings coming directly from the multi-talented GreenWorks staff members. Purchase additional raffle tickets ($5 each) to increase your chance to win.

SILENT AUCTION & NATIVE PLANT SALE
From October 2-18, shop an incredible array of local items and experiences in outdoor recreation, arts + culture, food + beverages, and other offerings from the comfort of your own home! You can set proxy bids & be alerted if someone outbids you, so you can have the best chance to get the items you really want -- and you won't want to miss out on this year's collection. Plus, instead of our traditional plant/tree raffle, this year you can shop a wide selection of native trees and plants donated by local nurseries. |
