SUMMARY:🤘 Live Discussion & Q&A with Patrick Stone (Hairball / Budderside) Hosted by Building a Refuge
DESCRIPTION:🤘 Join us for a powerful and inspiring conversation with Patrick Stone\, lead singer of the nationally touring rock show Hairball and frontman for Budderside. \nBehind the lights and energy of the rock stage is a deeply personal story. Patrick experienced the tragic loss of his sister to suicide at a young age\, and his life took many difficult turns along the way. Through those challenges\, Patrick ultimately found faith in Christ and the strength to pursue sobriety. \nToday\, Patrick has been sober for more than 15 years and continues to use his platform to share a message of hope\, recovery\, faith\, and resilience. He also actively supports missions like Building a Refuge\, which is dedicated to supporting men’s mental health. \nThis Live Discussion and Q&A will give attendees a rare opportunity to hear Patrick’s story\, ask questions\, and have an honest conversation about mental health\, faith\, recovery\, and overcoming life’s toughest challenges. \n📅 Date: March 21\, 2026🕛 Time: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM📍 Location: Radisson Hotel200 Second Street SouthLa Crosse\, WI 54601 \n🎟 WIN FREE TICKETS during the event! \n🎥 To hear more about Patrick’s story of hope\, watch here:https://youtu.be/98hxi2I3a84?si=IhTBZM7Gn1HqixD2 \n🎧🎶 Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/2zYdEAKMcQgwH21bwJBtsC \n🌐 Check out all social media and streaming inks by searching “Building a Refuge” \n🌐 Learn more about Building a Refuge:www.buildingarefuge.org \nA special thank you to our sponsor GECU Credit Union – La Crosse\, WI for supporting this event.

DESCRIPTION:Mental Health and Wellness Meeting – Building a Refuge hosts monthly meetings to support men’s mental health in our community. Our meetings are focused on networking with other men in our community that are open to share their story. Our mission is to create hope through One Story at a Time. \nThis meeting is focused on guys hanging out in a pretty kick ass place and simply networking and getting to know one another. In doing this\, we have found that we all deal with junk on a daily basis. We have also found that sharing with one another helps get us work through some of this stuff.
