Event Highlights
Bluegrass with the Bishop
Bluegrass with the Bishop is CSS’s signature annual fundraising event, bringing together music, fellowship, and community support in one joyful evening. Guests enjoy live bluegrass music, meaningful conversation with fellow supporters, and the chance to support CSS programs serving seniors, families, and neighbors in need across central Ohio.
The event features sponsorship opportunities for businesses, families, and community partners, and has introduced unique elements like the Bishop’s Barrel, a limited-edition bourbon pick selected by Bishop Fernandes and available to table sponsors.
