For some people, grief changes everything. Having a place where you can find others who truly understand can make all the difference.

That’s what Bri’s Lodge provides, and this August, you can help make sure that support continues.

THE 8TH ANNUAL KRUZIN' FOR BRI'S LODGE CAR SHOW & SPAGHETTI MEAL

The 8th Annual Kruzin’ for Bri’s Lodge Car Show & Spaghetti Meal is coming up on Sunday, August 30th, 2026.

It’s a day filled with beautiful cars and tasty food, but at the heart of it all is something much bigger. Bri's Lodge wants to make sure people who are grieving don’t have to walk through some of the most difficult days of their lives alone.

BRI'S LODGE BRINGS HOPE TO THOSE SUFFERING A LOSS

Bri’s Lodge provides grief support, connection and hope to individuals and families who are grieving the loss of someone they love to suicide or overdose. Grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and it doesn’t simply disappear when the rest of the world moves on. Sometimes, just being in a room with people who understand can mean more than words can say.

That’s why events like Kruzin’ for Bri’s Lodge are so important.

CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR GRIEVING FAMILIES

The money raised helps Bri’s Lodge continue providing support and creating a place where people can talk, remember, connect and find some hope as they learn to carry their grief forward. You may not completely understand until you find yourself in that situation.

CRAFT AND BAKE SALE IS NEW THIS YEAR

This year’s Kruzin’ for Bri’s Lodge will once again feature the annual car show and spaghetti meal, but organizers are also adding something brand new: a Craft & Bake Sale.

LOOKING FOR MAKERS, BAKERS AND CREATORS

Right now, Bri’s Lodge is looking for crafters, makers, bakers and creative members of our community who would be willing to donate handmade items, baked goods or other creations that can be sold during the event.

WHAT CREATIVE SKILLS DO YOU HAVE?

Maybe you make beautiful quilts. Maybe you crochet, create jewelry, work with wood or have a cookie recipe that everyone asks you to make.

Whatever your talent may be, this is a way to use it to help someone else.

All of the items will be sold during Kruzin’ for Bri’s Lodge, with the proceeds helping support the grief services Bri’s Lodge provides to individuals and families in our community.

And here’s the wonderful thing: You can help even if you can’t attend the event.

By donating something to the Craft & Bake Sale, you can still be part of the day and help Bri’s Lodge continue its mission. Every donated item, every raffle ticket and every person who attends helps keep these important grief support services available.

One lucky winner will take home an Aventon Pace 4 Step-Through E-Bike valued at $1,800!
