“IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL IT’S DONE.” – NELSON MANDELA The vision of Safe Haven is to eliminate family homelessness in Middle Tennessee.

It is a rather lofty goal. Most people would believe that it is just a phrase, one that we can never achieve. I believe, however, that if it is Safe Haven’s mission vision, then we need to be doing everything within our power to realize that goal.

With the various issues that concern families experiencing homelessness, it will take the work of a number of agencies paired with collaborative community efforts to make progress and create lasting change for families experiencing homelessness. The challenges associated with family homelessness require leadership in addressing the barriers that families face. With 38 years of experience in working with families experiencing homelessness, Safe Haven has the expertise and the abilities to assume that responsibility.

This event tonight is one of the keys in helping Safe Haven provide housing, critical services for parents and children, and support to over 300 families annually.

Dancing for Safe Haven is one of Nashville’s most admired events; its purpose makes a difference in the lives of so many families. With a dedicated staff, board, volunteers and donors, we are poised for continued excellence and growth to successfully carry our mission.

I am thankful for our dancers who agreed to be a part of event tonight. They have worked diligently to fundraise, rehearse and raise awareness and will take the dance floor to give families in our community a place to call home.

I want to recognize our wonderful event chairs, Kearstin Patterson, Candice Reed and Shane Tarleton, all former Dancing for Safe Haven dancers. They have done a remarkable job of fundraising, have dedicated time and talents, and are bringing the “fun” to the evening!

I also want to acknowledge the behind-the-scenes work that goes into Dancing for Safe Haven—from our sponsors, dancers, board of directors, staff, volunteers and production company, BlueSky Filmworks, composed of Stephen Hill, Brock Slagle and Bradford Van Demark. Their professionalism and creativity along with Nic Dugger and the TNDV team ensures that this evening will be one to remember. Our event director, Tinti Moffat, has brought a new energy to this event, and we are grateful for her dedication and efforts. Staff members Rachael Wilkins, Allyson Bahr, Stacy Nunnally and Yen Lai have worked alongside Tinti to organize this year’s Dancing for Safe Haven.

Finally, if you are not a part of Safe Haven, I invite you to join us and get involved in the many ways to support our mission. For tonight, enjoy the show, dance on the dance floor, and know that you have made a big difference in the lives of families experiencing homelessness.

Thank you for being a part of our Safe Haven family.

HERO AWARD “I THINK A HERO IS ANY PERSON REALLY INTENT ON MAKING THIS A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL PEOPLE.” - MAYA ANGELOU Anita and Larry Cash embody the essence of what it means to be Safe Haven heroes. They have a deep sense of commitment to supporting Safe Haven’s families and have contributed in myriad ways to ensure families experiencing homelessness have a place to call home. Their journey with Safe Haven began in 2015, when longtime supporter Jerry Bostelman asked Anita to participate as a Dancing for Safe Haven dancer. Once Anita was introduced to Safe Haven, she felt a calling to become more involved. She brought Safe Haven to Larry’s attention, and they began working together, each contributing unique talents to further the organization’s mission.

In 2016 and 2017, Anita chaired the Dancing for Safe Haven event, and she, along with Larry, began to bring several individuals from their networks. While Anita focused on chairing the event and involving new prospects, Larry laid the foundation for a successful corporate engagement strategy. Larry served as President of Financial Services, Chief Financial Officer for 18 years at Community Health Systems (CHS). Through his role at CHS, he greatly increased Safe Haven’s visibility and spearheaded fundraising from CHS and the healthcare sector as a whole. Many companies that would have otherwise not have known about Safe Haven joined in as sponsors. Since his retirement in 2017, Larry has continued his work in creating a legacy of support with the healthcare industry.

Dancing for Safe Haven revenue has more than doubled as a result of Anita and Larry’s efforts. They have opened their home for gatherings, given generously of their time, talents and gifts to contribute to Safe Haven’s vision of ending family homelessness. Anita also joined Safe Haven’s board and marketing impact team, lending expertise from her decorated 25-year advertising and marketing career. They also support initiatives throughout the year, such as holiday giving, Hike for Safe Haven, donation drives, giving campaigns and more.

There is nothing that Anita and Larry find more rewarding than being a part of changing lives, particularly the lives of children. They want to lead individuals to learn more about Safe Haven, and feel that they could not have found a better place to land.

Both from humble beginnings, Anita and Larry have made it an integral part of their life’s work to bless others. Their families instilled the importance of giving from an early age, and throughout their marriage, they have made a tremendous impact by helping several nonprofit organizations. Anita and Larry have been married for 26 years, have lived in the Nashville area for 25 years, and have three children: Lauren Greenwood, Allison Cash Jenkins and Brad Cash, along with seven grandchildren.

The money raised at Dancing for Safe Haven helps us serve record numbers of families experiencing homelessness. That means your support helps give more families a place to call home.

More than just numbers, these stats represent home, stability, and often safety for families.

For 38 years, Safe Haven Family Shelter has kept its promise of keeping families together.

She was a two-time Georgia Stage Rodeo Champion in high school and received a scholarship at Troy University where she attended from 2007–2010.

She also enjoys spending time with her nephews. Her bucket list includes skydiving over Mount Everest and owning her own bakery/coffee shop in Whites Creek, Tennessee. Most importantly, it seems Kindal loves a challenge and never seems to say “no” to an opportunity to give back to her community. Being part of several nonprofit organizations gives Kindal many occasions to make a positive impact in our community for things she is passionate about. She makes excellent use of her skills and endless energy to contribute to the greater good. Kindal is looking forward to dancing in this year’s Dancing for Safe Haven event and supporting Safe Haven’s efforts to keep families facing homelessness, together. Because, after all, isn’t family and a place to call home everything?
