TC Black and Century 21 Tri-Cities Present: Celebrity Charity Dinner with Erik "The Peanut Guy" Mertens

Tri-Cities Chaplaincy, TC Black, in collaboration with Century 21 Tri-Cities, is thrilled to announce the inaugural Celebrity Charity Dinner featuring Erik "The Peanut Guy" Mertens. This exclusive event promises an evening of luxury and philanthropy, all supporting a worthy cause. 

The brainchild of TC Black's founder, the Celebrity Charity Dinner, aims to bridge the gap between celebrities and the community while supporting charitable initiatives. "I realized early on in my TC Black venture that I was extremely privileged to drive around celebrities/VIPs that I otherwise would never have had the opportunity to meet. I wanted to be able to share that experience with other people in the community, but I needed to figure out how to get my 'celebrity' contacts to spend time with strangers willingly. That's where the idea for the Celebrity Charity Dinner was born!" said David McClain, owner of TC Black. 

This unique event offers attendees the chance to enjoy an intimate dinner with Erik "The Peanut Guy" Mertens, renowned for his presence at Dust Devil baseball games. After dinner, guests will be treated to prime seats behind home plate for nine innings of exhilarating Dust Devil baseball action.

"We've been fortunate to have great donations and sponsors over the years, and now Century 21 Tri-Cities," added David McClain, owner of TC Black. 

The highlight of the evening, however, lies in its philanthropic purpose. All proceeds raised during the event will directly benefit Erik's chosen local charity, Cork's Place Kids Grief Center. By participating in this event, attendees will indulge in luxury and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. 

"Cork's Place Kids Grief Center is deeply honored to be selected as the beneficiary of this esteemed event," remarked Tara Divers, Director of Philanthropy at Cork's Place. "This support means the world to our team, volunteers, and participants. It enables us to continue providing essential support and resources to children and families navigating the grieving process in Benton and Franklin Counties."  

Cork's Place Kids Grief Center has served Benton and Franklin Counties for 20 years, providing essential support to those navigating grief. The center's continued operation and impact are made possible through the generous support of the community.
