What we have in place

How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to This money saved will allow us to put these funds towards our Hope Lodge Capital Campaign and get us one step closer to a renovation of this amazing project.

We are launching a new gala fundraiser in Nashville TN called the Discovery Ball. This event will help us partner with our local corporate leaders in the fight against cancer!
