All proceeds for this event will benefit the Saving Grace Women's home of Tennessee. Proceeds go to supporting the mission of rehabilitation for local women. Saving Grace began in 2015 with 2 homes, one for men (Project Hope) and one for women (Saving Grace). 10 years later, they now have 8 homes in 5 states and are continuing to love their neighbors one by one. All donations go to supporting the center with housing and annual expenses for residents and treatments needed. We hope to see you out there and lending your support!
