Home to many who are living their best life in Northeast Georgia, Traditions of Braselton is an 1140-acre master-planned community that boasts a stunning collection of homes from some of the state’s best production and custom builders paired with a wealth of lifestyle-centric amenities. Aware that many families throughout Jackson County and the surrounding area are struggling – particularly in the wake of COVID-19, Traditions of Braselton seeks to give back to their neighbors in need in an incredibly special way. Launched in 2017 as a living tribute to a Traditions of Braselton resident who had been given a second chance at life following a massive heart attack, Sheila Fest is an annual two-day event that comprises a tournament, charity dinner and all-day outdoor music festival – the proceeds of which will benefit iServe Ministries and the families the nonprofit helps. The tournament and charity dinner are planned for Friday, October 23, while the music festival is slated for Saturday, October 24.
“I can’t think of a better way to show our love and support for Sheila Anderson while raising money for a great cause, bringing neighbors together for some good times and introducing the local community to a bit of what makes Traditions of Braselton so special,” said Bryan Allen, General Manager for the community. “Given that it’s outdoor and our event lawn is so large, it will be easy for families to spread out and observe social distancing. The one thing that will remain unchanged is that we’ll all get to enjoy music from great local musicians for a good cause. It promises to be a good time and we hope the community and anyone considering a move to Traditions of Braselton will come out to join us.”
The fun kicks off Friday, October 23 with the Sheila Fest Tournament at Traditions of Braselton Club. Open to non-members, this public event will feature a shotgun start on the community’s scenic 18-hole at 9 a.m. – two-person scramble with 9-hole draw. Cost to participate is $125/er or $250/team. Several levels of sponsorship are available – many of which include having one team in the tournament and tickets for two to the Sheila Fest Charity Dinner. Anyone interested in sponsoring the Tournament are encouraged to contact Jim Strong at 404-775-0601 or Jim@ThorpeEnterprises.com.
That evening, the Owner’s Clubhouse at Traditions of Braselton will play host to the Sheila Fest Charity Dinner at 6 p.m. Due to COVID-19, seating will be limited but tickets are just $25/plate and include a full-service dinner and drinks. The event will also feature a live and silent auction.
