Kids to Love held their signature event on April 30 at the Jackson Center. Funds raised directly support foster girls living at Davidson Farms and the Whitaker Cottage Community, which supports young ladies aging out of the foster care system. Davidson Farms is home to girls ages 10-19 and serves girls across the states of Alabama and Tennessee. Whitaker Cottage Community serves girls ages 20-25.

Special guests included Chairman Dale Strong, Rep. Rex Reynolds; Rep. Andy Whitt; Madison County Probate Judge Frank Barger; Judge Greg Williams; Beth & Devin Whitaker; Senator Sam Givhan; Bill Holtzclaw; Charlotte and Mike Brodowski; as well as President/CEO of IronMountain Solutions, Hank Isenberg.

Guests dined on fare catered by Jackson Center, with flowers and décor arranged by Kasondra Gipson. Entertainment was provided by The Springs: A Nashville Duo. The event was presented by Twickenham Advisors.

“Denim and Diamonds was a celebration of Davidson Farms and our Cottage Community: A refuge for girls filled with faith, hope and love!” said Kids to Love Founder/CEO Lee Marshall. n
