Fayette Cares Gala Coming Straight from the Heart

Fayette Cares announces the return of its ever-popular gala and auction, A Night of Southern Elegance, on Saturday, November 5, 2022. Caring for neighbors in need takes heart, which is why the gala is coming “Straight from the Heart” at a new event hotspot called The Venue in Somerville, Tennessee; The Heart of Fayette County.

Guests are invited to prepare for an elegant dinner with dancing and an exceptional auction. Heated bidding is expected on packages including a Turks & Caicos beachside bungalow, Rolling Thunder game calls, flight lessons, guided trophy trout fishing in the Rocky Mountains, custom portrait paintings, and much more.

With housing, food, and fuel costs skyrocketing, Fayette Cares emergency shelter, food, rent/utility, and domestic violence intervention programs are critical to those trapped in poverty and abuse. When our community opens their hearts and shows their support, Fayette Cares programs can make a measurable difference in feeding the food insecure, bridging the gap from homelessness to stable housing, providing safety from violence, building life skills, and linking to critical resources for a brighter future.   

Ring Container Technologies is returning to the event as an Opal Sponsor, once again leading as a supporter of the Fayette Cares mission. Hosting the grand event is House of Faith Ministries, in its newly remodeled space, The Venue. Other big-hearted sponsors include Platinum Sponsor: PCG Global Trade; Gold Sponsor: Mercedes-Benz of Collierville; Silver Sponsors: Rolling Thunder Game Calls, AOC, Allied Termite & Pest Control, Mahaffey Event & Tent Rentals, Michelob Ultra, and Kroger; and Copper Sponsors: Activ Imaginations, The Fayette Falcon, Greenbridge Insurance, and Suzie Tidwell of Crye-Leike Realty.

Typically a sold out crowd of guests from Fayette, Shelby, and surrounding counties attend, with others supporting the event through auction donations, sponsorships, and volunteerism. Tickets are $250 per couple, $1,000 for a table of eight, or $1,500 for a premium table, which includes premiere seating, premium dinner wines, champagne toast, table host gift, and more.

Show your caring heart by joining efforts to end homelessness, break the cycle of domestic violence, and provide stability to families in crisis throughout the Mid-South. Come celebrate and support with an evening of fine wine, a four-course meal, an extraordinary auction, and lively dancing, benefitting the work of Fayette Cares.
