One of Nuçi’s Space’s biggest annual fundraisers is back for its 12th year, involving businesses around Athens in a night of music and charity. The nonprofit, which is dedicated to suicide prevention and musicians’ resources, is hosting a battle of the bands that challenges local businesses to tap into their creative sides. Employees form themed bands that solicit donations in the weeks leading up to and at the event, where they compete for awards including Best Fundraiser, Crowd Favorite and Judges’ Favorite. The competition promises to be even bigger and louder this year to celebrate 25 years of Nuçi’s Space. Competing businesses include Ideal Bagel Co., TSAV, Live Wire, New West Records, Athens Regional Library System, Washington Square Studio, Elevate Wealth Advisory, Stiles Services, Joe and Sam’s Cafe and even Flagpole’s own Soggy Paper Boys.
