POSTPONED: Get your tickets for the Loving Life Benefit Concert
Tickets now are on sale for the inaugural Loving Life Benefit Concert featuring Scott Helmer, with a special appearance by former Miss America Betty Cantrell Maxwell.
Because of the odd times we’re living in, we’ve rescheduled the concert for *April 10, 2021. The concert will help The PEACH Pit reach more Veterans and first responders in an effort to save lives. Specifically, the concert will help us reach more women Veterans, who among the 22 Veterans who commit suicide daily; and first responders, who, sadly, die by their own hands more than they die otherwise.
Scott is a musician, songwriter and overall great performer. And in 2008, he was seconds away from committing suicide. Now, he travels the country spreading the joy of living.
Betty is a motivational speaker, singer, actress, model, author, Miss Georgia 2015, Miss America 2016. She’s from Middle Georgia and a strong advocate for suicide prevention and mental health treatment.
Tickets range from $10 to $100. This concert is likely to sell out, so don’t delay. Get your tickets today.
*Note that we rescheduled the concert from Aug. 1 to maximize the time for the world to recover from COVID-19.

Manure happens: Procrastinate no more
Well, federal friends, today is officially the last day of the Combined Federal Campaign.
You’ve wanted to give and have kept putting it off because stuff kept getting in the way. Manure happens.
Today is the day to give to The PEACH Pit, CFC No. 27220. The nonprofit provides affordable mental health care to all clients, whether children, families, Veterans or active duty military. Our horses help humans find solutions to their problems.
Whether you’re a current or retired federal employee, you can give.
Oh, wait, today is Sunday, and you’re not at work. No excuse. If you have access to the Internet, you can give at https://cfcgiving.opm.gov/welcome. Once online, search for The PEACH Pit or our CFC number: 27220.
Your donation ensures that clients who struggle to get through their stuff don’t further have to struggle with paying to receive help. Your donation helps eliminate that financial strain.
So far, the amount of pledges for the 2019 campaign has increased by 153 percent, and the number of donors has increased 65 percent over the 2018 campaign. For a small nonprofit, that’s huge.
Give. Please. And share this post with friends. Because manure happens to us all, and some of us need help to get unstuck.
Even if you’re not a federal employee, you can donate.
A big ask
Two days into the new year, we sent out notice that registration was open for our spring Horsepower and Heroes Retreat for women Veterans.
In 24 hours, 112 women Veterans had registered for 15 slots. That’s wonderful and, at the same, sad.
Wouldn’t it be great if all of them could attend and decompress and be among other women Veterans?
What if you could make that happen? Would you?
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to The PEACH Pit to help us help our Veterans. Think of it as a way of thanking them for their service.
You can donate on our website and via GA Gives. The GA Gives donations specifically go toward our retreat. You can also mail a check to PO Box 891, Fort Valley, GA 31030, and put “Retreat” in the memo area.
Thank you for helping us help those who served.
On Giving Tuesday, or any day, give (please)
The PEACH Pit’s primary goal is to provide affordable mental health care for those in need. We believe no one should have to struggle to pay for this basic need.
On this day, please consider helping us help others. We know you have many worthy causes to consider. Please make The PEACH Pit one of them.
If you’re military, retired military, a federal civilian or retired federal civilian, please consider donating through the Combined Federal Campaign. Our CFC number is 27220.
No amount is too small, and, of course, no amount is too large. You also can volunteer your time.
