Bridges is thrilled to announce that over $38,000 was raised on May 5th at Signs of the Times: 85 Years and All That Jazz!
Signs of the Times: 85 Years and All that Jazz, celebrating the organizations’ 85th year, was held at W.O. Smith Music School. Attendees were transported back to a 1920s speakeasy with live jazz music by the Craig Duncan Band. Guests danced like flappers and fellas on the dance floor all night long, were wowed during the live auction by Glen Craig and Charlie Montgomery of Comas Montgomery Realty & Auction, and took home some fantastic auction items.
Bridges would like to thank Signs of the Times Event Sponsors, Rogers Group, Regions, Peabody Corner Marketplace, Bridgestone Americas, CAT Financial, W.O. Smith Music School, Ozburn-Hessey Logistics, Franklin Synergy Bank, Dorothy Cate & Thomas Frist Foundation, Kraft CPAs, LLC, Cochlear Americas, Sorenson Communications, Frugal McDougall and Yazoo Brewing Company.
Proceeds of Signs of the Times: 85 Years and All That Jazz will help provide interpreting, education, youth, and wellness programs for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals in middle Tennessee. Check out photos from the event online, taken by photographer Shelley Justiss!
