    Thrive Entertainment’s concerts are completely non-profit and 100 percent of the revenue will be going to local charities. The focus is on the children of the world and educating them while bringing awareness to the forefront of their conscious actions.

    Thrive Entertainment was formed by a collective of motion picture professionals looking to give back to the public after years of allowing the film industry to operate within the community. The mission spawned several additional charities including sister charities Coffee-Gives & DareToMakeAChange. This genesis enabled the organization a way to give back while undertaking a love shared by all its members, live music production. So, come out for a great night of fun and live entertainment at one of our upcoming events.

    Proceeds will benefit six area non-profits, including The Children’s Village at Christian City.

    A silent auction will be held throughout the evening, including items from TV shows such as The Waking Dead, The Vampire Diaries, Drop Dead Diva, Goosebumps, The Originals, and Taken 3.

    Drop Dead Diva Executive Producer, Robert J. Wilson, organized the event to honor the memory of the late Sarah Jones. Jones died tragically in February while working on the Greg Allman biopic Midnight Rider.

    The event is presented through Thrive Entertainment, a non-profit that hosts live music productions and donates all proceeds to charity. The concert in Fayetteville will benefit The Real Life Center, AVPRIDE, Bloom, Dare to Make a Change, the Sarah Jones Scholarship Fund, and The Children’s Village at Christian City.
