Dancing to New Heights

from Home on the Horizon (SHFS Newsletter Q4 2022)

Group Volunteers Tackle Large Projects for Great Impact

We enjoyed every step, twirl and lift of the 13th Annual Dancing for Safe Haven event held on May 21! This year, we set a new onenight fundraising record, soaring over our previous goal. Presented by Community Health Systems and Southwestern Family of Companies, the event paired six Nashville notables with professional ballroom dancers who competed for Audience Favorite, Judges’ Favorite, and Fundraising Favorite. Thank you to our amazing star dancers who took the dance floor to help raise money and awareness for Safe Haven: Leisa Gill, Kindal Jumper (Audience Favorite), James Marsh, Joshua Mundy (Judges’ Favorite), Bill O’Bryan and Beth Witte (Fundraising Favorite). At the event, the Safe Haven Hero Award was presented to Anita and Larry Cash, as they

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. Thank you to our event cochairs, Kearstin Patterson, Candice Reed and Shane Tarleton and to all of the judges, emcees, sponsors, volunteers, guests and donors for making this event such a success!
