October in Asheville
means many things. The one that is nearest and dearest to Eblen Charities are the faces of our iconic Pumpkins and BOOsters!
The first year Eblen Charities started the Pumpkins and BOOsters campaign they were cut out by hand and we sold 60!
Now more 100,000 of these friendly, smiling mascots of Eblen are sold in many area businesses and schools during the month of October.
The Pumpkins and BOOsters campaign helps to fund much of the non-governmental assistance provided of Eblen Charities $1.00 at a time!
You can purchase Pumpkins at local Ingles Markets October 1st –October 15th or from a Buncombe County and Asheville City School student the whole month of October.
Some participating BOOSters locations:

19th Annual
Walk, Run or Roll
5k/10k
We want YOU to join us, this Saturday, October 12
th
, for the 19
th
Annual Eblen Charities Walk, Run, or Roll 5K/10K, held on the campus of A-B Tech.
The Walk, Run, and Roll is a non-competitive and family friendly 5k (three miles) or 10k (six miles) around the beautiful campus of our community college, beginning at 9:00 am and finishing around noon with lunch from Outback.
The Walk raises money to help children, adults, and families in our community in their time of need. This is a great chance to put on your walking shoes, get your family, friends and co-workers together for a fun community event.
The Walk is a very important event for us every year and is even more so this year, as the need for help continues to grow. What makes the Walk so special is that you get to see how many people come out to support the community and feel the love for the kids in our local schools and families in our community, and you can see your kindness in action! Plus, there will be music, fun, prizes, kids zone and more!
Our special thanks go out to our sponsors this year:
Presenting Sponsors: A-B Tech, Outback Steakhouse, Pepsi, Ingles Markets, 99.9 Kiss Country with iHeartMedia, and Designs by Eddie Gumm.
Platinum Sponsors: Mark & Mary Moody, Great Beginnings Pediatrics and Great Smiles Orthodontics, Judd Builders, Aeroflow Healthcare, McKinney Insurance, and Sleep Number
