On Saturday, April 18th, head to the Elks Lodge 389 Ballroom at 389 Elk Drive in Charlottesville for a powerful night of music, food, and support — all for longtime drummer Jerry Thomas, who is currently on his liver transplant journey.

This event runs from 4 to 10 PM and it’s open to the public. Entry is $15, and it’s a cash-only event, so plan ahead.

Here’s what’s lined up:

🎤 Live music by James Tamelcoff from 4 to 6 PM
🎧 DJ Crazy Craig takes over from 7 to 10 PM
🍗 BBQ platters for $10
🍻 Cash bar
🤫 Silent auction
🎟️ 50/50 raffle

And here’s a big one… raffle tickets are available now for a chance to win $5,000. They’re $10 each, and the winning ticket will be picked based on the April 18th 2 PM Virginia Lottery Pick 3 — so those tickets must be purchased before the event.

T-shirts are also available for $25, and if you can’t make it but still want to help, there’s a GoFundMe set up for Jerry’s medical journey.

To purchase raffle tickets, grab a shirt, donate to the silent auction, or get more information, contact Casey at 434-981-4778 or Melissa at 434-960-8863.

Silver Creek is helping spread the word for one of their own, and this is one of those nights where the music means a little more, the applause feels a little louder, and the community shows up strong.

It’s all happening April 18th at Elks Lodge 389 — let’s rally around Jerry and remind him he’s not playing this one solo. 💚🥁
