About Gathering for the Pines
This year, Friends of Pinehurst Surgical Clinic invites supporters to join us for Gathering for the Pines—our largest fundraiser of the year, which raises critical funds to support our mission to give back to our community. During our second annual event, guests will enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting paired with delicious small bites from local chefs; meet artist Thomas Arvid; and have fun looking at and bidding on silent and live auction items.
All proceeds from the 2022 Gathering for the Pines event will support the military and first responder organizations.
When: September 11, 2022 | 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Where: The Fair Barn – Pinehurst, NC

How It Started
In April 2019 (before Friends of Pinehurst Surgical Clinic was a nonprofit), Charles Gregg, Chief Executive Officer of Pinehurst Surgical Clinic, invited local artist Thomas Arvid to Pinehurst to showcase his artwork at a couple of small “gatherings” at Elliot’s and The Holly Inn.
The larger event was hosted at Sandy Woods Farm with Thomas Arvid and Salvestrin Winery. Chef Big Jim Stancil from BareKnuckles BBQ of Georgia, cooked amazing BBQ while attendees sipped wine and enjoyed the beautiful grounds of Sandy Woods Farm.
The event was such a success that we started planning a larger function for 2020—and the name “Gathering for the Pines” was born! After postponing the event due to the pandemic, we were finally able to host our first annual Gathering for the Pines event in September 2021.
