Fundraiser benefits 1st Step Club in Pahrump

Enabling people to live a healthy lifestyle is one of the key missions behind Natural Vibes Wellness and Nutrition Center, and supporting the local community is another, so when an opportunity arises to bring those two goals together, the team at Natural Vibes doesn’t hesitate, they jump in feet first.

Recently, this was the case as the staffers came together to host a fundraiser in support of a very important resource for the community, addiction recovery group the 1st Step Club.

Held on Saturday, April 17 at Natural Vibes Wellness and Nutrition Center, the fundraiser was hosted as a car and bike wash, with bikini-clad ladies armed with water hoses and plenty of soap, ready to scrub down and shine up the vehicles and motorcycles that made their way to the event that afternoon. Though the weather proved to be a bit of a bother, event organizers persevered and in the end, were able to happily declare the event to be a wonderful success.

“We raised $827 for the local recovery group, the 1st Step Club,” an obviously delighted Crystal Atwood from Natural Vibes reported. “Kelly Sater from the Bearded Lady Saloon made a $500 donation and the rest was from local support.

“The day was challenging with high winds but we stayed committed and it paid off. The bike/car wash ran from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Myself and my director of wellness, Ann Ross, worked it the majority of the day, with some help from supporting staff,” Atwood continued. “Inside, we had our Health Habits handout, which we host every third Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s potluck-style with a wellness educator, which provides some opportunity for people to learn something new.”
