A Night in Nashville
by Annette Quinet

As
a female, a mother, a daughter and a friend, I want to ensure that I,
my daughters, friends and clients all have positive images of
ourselves—something that’s not always easy to achieve. That’s
where Hopewell comes in. Hopewell embraces positive body values while
offering support to individuals struggling with severe eating
disorders and their loved ones.
A
Night in Nashville for Hopewell was a new approach to raising the
funds Hopewell needs to continue to offer these valuable services to
our community. We tried out a new venue with stunning decor, enjoyed
a live band and engaged a new media sponsor. We still kept some of
the familiar events past supporters have enjoyed, including our
fabulous silent auction, our raffle, and our amazing thank you gift
from long-time Hopewell supporter, Pat Flesher Furs. This mix of old
and new helped us secure a significant amount of corporate
sponsorship and encouraged a mixed demographic of attendees. We were
so thrilled that our event sold out and that we raised over $73k for
Hopewell!
It
was my pleasure to co-chair this event with Cindy Harrison. We could
not have had such success if not for our “dream team” helping
and supporting us. Our thanks go out to all of our committee members
along with a special thanks to Terri Hoddinott and Lina Hunt for
their invaluable input, support and participation as committee
members, past chairs and organizers. We would also be remiss if we
did not acknowledge the unwavering support from Kathleen Cummings,
Hopewell’s executive director.
Until next year!
