4th Annual Nashville Angels Open
2024-05-20 13:00 - 18:30
Monday, May 20th, 2024 starting at 1:00 PM
Franklin Bridge Golf Course
Come join us for a great day on the course for a great cause! We are so excited to be hosting our 4th Annual Golf Tournament for Nashville Angels.
Proceeds from this event will go directly to Nashville Angels to benefit the children and families involved in the foster care system throughout Middle Tennessee. This is our opportunity to make a difference and have fun, and we want YOU to be a part of it!
The purpose of this event is to not just raise funds for Nashville Angels but to raise awareness about foster care in the community. Nashville Angels is a 501c-3 nonprofit organization that exists to walk alongside children in the foster care system, as well as their caretakers, by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.
We carry that mission out with two programs:
THE LOVE BOX program is a yearlong commitment to a family to create a box filled with different items to provide practical support and encouragement to the family. The boxes are made monthly for the current families involved in the chapter’s program.
DARE TO DREAM is a one on one mentorship program designed for foster children aged 15-21 years old to help with their transition of life because, for most of these foster children, when they turn 18 years old, they have nowhere to turn with no idea what to do next. Dare to Dream shows these children that someone cares enough to teach and guide them. The goal is that every foster child will be reached.
In 2023, we served 2,997 children through our national chapters. We are seeing major IMPACT in Middle Tennessee, and we have a great vision for 2024. We can only carry that vision out with YOU!
There are multiple ways you can partner with us for our 4th Annual Golf Tournament. You can join us as a sponsor, invite your friends and come play, donate items for the raffle, or if you can’t attend, simply make a donation. Every contribution to Nashville Angels counts!
