The Tennessee School for the Blind has been helping visually impaired children since 1844. With a vast staff on onsite nurses, doctors, nutritionists, teachers and certified specialists this school is really a community in its own right, offering cottage style residencies and extracurricular activities geared towards adjusting the children and staffed by trained technicians. Of course, this spectacular organization needs special funding. “Friends of Tennessee School for the Blind” helps do just that.

Through donations, various fundraisers and special events money is raised to help send the students to cultural events, buy recreational equipment, upgrade the technology inherent to the success of these students, and help fund the training necessary to teach them to be independently operative in the modern world.

Bob Parks Realty is hosting the 11^th Annual “An Evening with Friends” this Thursday, November 17^th at 5:00 p.m. A silent and live auction will be held, featuring donations, gift certificates and vouchers from local services as well as items donated by friends and leaders in Nashville’s business, music, and sports community, in addition to individual donors. An electric guitar from Alabama, signed by all the guys, various autographed CDs, and a guitar signed by both Tim McGraw and Gwyneth Paltrow accompanied by the Country Strong soundtrack are just to name a few. The children’s TSB chorus will be performing, hors d’oeuvres and holiday sweets will be provided, and Santa will be there to visit the children from the school.

This event has raised more than $125,500 in the past 10 years, and all proceeds from the event go to the school. So this Thursday, November 17^th, please plan on attending a holiday auction with a heartwarming reminder of the true holiday spirit at 5:00pm at 2416 Music Valley Dr, #144 in the Music Valley Event Center (The Opryland Area). For a $10.00 donation at the door you can join Bob Parks Realty as a proud sponsor and remember that everyone needs a reason for the season!
