Spreading the word of this fun event

The holiday season is getting closer—and so is Give & Gather: A Holiday Happy Hour.

We’re putting the finishing touches on an evening filled with holiday festivities and community spirit. Picture savory hors d'oeuvres, delicious desserts, impact stories, a powerful giving moment, and a live auction! Plus, plenty of holiday cheer, and the chance to connect with friends, neighbors, and local supporters in downtown Stillwater.

And don’t forget: Santa and Mrs. Claus—brought to life by Princess Paula and her husband—will lead us through the evening with the kind of holiday cheer and spirit you won’t want to miss.

But the best part? Every ticket helps support Community Thread’s programs and services—from Holiday Hope and transportation to Tax Assistance and opportunities for neighbors to stay connected throughout the St. Croix Valley.

Come for the celebration. Leave knowing your evening made a meaningful difference close to home.

Tickets are limited, and this is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season with purpose.

Jill Lee has always been driven by curiosity and a desire to better understand people. After years of building a career in research, product, and marketing, she set out to find a business opportunity where she could pair her professional experience with meaningful community impact.

The search became personal after her family was unable to fulfill her mother's wish to age in place. "I wanted to make sure other families had the opportunity that we didn't," Jill shared.

As she explored franchise ownership, BrightStar Care stood out for its full continuum of care, strong support system, and collaborative network of franchisees. Today, Jill is preparing to open her BrightStar Care location with a clear mission: helping more families access the care and support they need to remain in the comfort of their own homes.

Richard Fulton path to BrightStar Care was shaped by a lifelong appreciation for service and a desire to make a meaningful impact in his community.

After building a successful career in marketing and operations, Richard was inspired to pursue business ownership by his family's experience caring for aging loved ones. Witnessing the challenges of caregiving firsthand reinforced the importance of accessible, high-quality home care and motivated him to bring those services closer to the families who need them most.

“Seeing my mom care for both of her parents really opened my eyes to just how much comes with being a caregiver,” Richard shared. “That's when I realized how important quality home care can be for an entire family.”

Today, Richard is bringing BrightStar Care's full continuum of care to the Southwest Atlanta and College Park community, combining his business expertise with a commitment to supporting families and expanding access to quality care close to home.
