City Lights 2020 | Family & Children’s Service March 28, 2020 – 6:30PM
We love our nonprofit friends at Family & Children’s Service! In fact, they hosted our most recent Opening Class Session for Young Leaders Council! They are hosting a spring event, City Lights 2020 – honoring Hunter Atkins & John Steele.
The party will feature a 70s Disco theme with live music by legendary funk band Delicious, dancing, and catering by Johnny Haffner. John Steele and Hunter Atkins will be honored for their community service and support of FCS. It’s a cocktail supper (open buffet; no tables). This makes it easy for partygoers to mingle all night. 70s costumes are encouraged (but not required), and there will be fun surprises throughout the evening.
The event benefits Family & Children’s Service, which serves more than 50,000 of our community’s most vulnerable children and families each year.
If you or your business would like to sponsor the event, please contact Beth Hall at 615.340.9718

Don’t miss out on this inspiring evening with Ben. As a result of experiencing the pit of depression, Ben Nemtin, along with three best friends put together a grand bucket list to experience life at a whole new level. They road-tripped across the US to accomplish their goals and check off their bucket list. The best part? Each time they checked a bucket list item, they helped a stranger cross something off their bucket list too. The list includes playing basketball with President Obama, streaking a soccer field, raising over $400,000 for charity to placing a record-breaking $250,000 bet on roulette, and more. Ben’s bucket list story has impacted millions.
