Bryan Duncan returns to the Music Factory for the third time, presenting two back-to-back nights of music. A global minister through outreach, worship, concerts, services, and special events, he brings a wide-ranging sound that spans CCM, gospel, pop, soul, blues, and smooth jazz, along with numerous honors that include a Grammy. His catalog features 18 solo albums and 16 number-one radio singles, with Shine as his latest release. He has also recorded with The NehoSoul Band and the Sweet Comfort Band. Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door, and seating is general admission. Concessions and merchandise will be available, including Mr. Chipper's fresh-baked cookies. An optional VIP Experience is offered before the concert. It includes time with Bryan to hear stories and new music, plus a photo opportunity and an autograph. This add-on requires separate concert tickets and a minimum donation of $25 per person, which supports the creation of new music, videos, and other content. VIP guests may reserve their seats before general admission entry. Please note that the Music Factory is on the second floor of a World War I era building that is not handicap accessible, and stairs are required.

Birdies Fore Brave Babies brings golfers and supporters together for a day centered on community, connection, purpose, and fun, all in support of NICU families through The Brave Foundation. Hosted in partnership with Majestic Oaks Golf Club, the event pairs a lively tournament atmosphere with a mission-driven focus. The Brave Foundation was created out of a family’s time in the NICU. Their son Brave was born four months early at one pound and spent nearly a year receiving life-saving care. Shortly after he came home, their daughter was also born prematurely and faced another lengthy NICU stay. Across 517 days between both children, they experienced fear and uncertainty, as well as the power of support and community. Today, the foundation delivers Brave Boxes and resources that offer practical help and encouragement to NICU families. Expect a spirited day with lots of purple, friendly faces, and a course filled with purpose. Organizers are seeking an event sponsor, along with silent auction items and promotional items for attendee tote bags. For sponsorship or general inquiries, contact info@thebravefoundation.info.
