A Note from Grant Committee Chair Jim Sloan
|
I’m sending a huge thank you to our wine-loving community for helping Nashville Wine Auction reach its $7,500 goal for the Gas Card Program last week! Â
Â
That generosity unlocked another very generous, anonymous matching pledge of $7,500 and we are now able to provide $15,000 in $25 or $50 gas cards to cancer patients and caregivers across the mid-state. We'll be handing those cards out tonight at our Grant Giving celebration - look for more news from that event next week!
The generosity and support of this community continues to inspire and makes the work of the Grant Committee, as we identify the best ways to support our beneficiaries, possible.  As we head into the new year, I'm extending my gratitude and looking forward to a successful 2025!
