💜 Hope, Healing & Community 💜

Sometimes, the strongest thing we can do is come together for someone who needs us.

On Friday, July 17, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM CST, eMbers Venue will be hosting a benefit for 25-year-old Rensselaer resident Collin Ott, who is courageously battling Stage 4A thymoma.

As Collin and his family face the challenges of treatment and recovery, we have an opportunity to remind them they are not facing this journey alone. Every bid, every raffle ticket, every signature drink, and every person who walks through our doors is a reminder that their community stands beside them.

Join us for an evening featuring:
💜 Silent auction
💜 50/50 raffle
💜 DJ entertainment
💜 Signature drinks, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Collin's fundraiser
💜 Cash bar
💜 Light snacks

Please share this post, invite your friends and loved ones, and help us fill eMbers Venue with hope, generosity, and the strength of a community that cares.

Together, we can help ease the burden and remind Collin that he has an entire community cheering him on every step of the way.

📅 Friday, July 17
🕕 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM CST
📍 eMbers Venue

We hope to see you there. 💜

We’re still swooning over how beautifully this bridal shower turned out!

The warm glow of natural sunlight streaming through the space highlighted the lush greenery and soft florals, creating such an inviting atmosphere. It all came together so perfectly against the natural wood floors and exposed brick walls of the historic downtown eMbers Venue.

Every detail felt intentional, romantic, and timeless—truly the perfect backdrop for celebrating such a special moment with loved ones.

If you’re dreaming up your own event, we’d love to help bring your vision to life. Call or text 219-869-9537 to start the process. 💐
