Franklin, TN “An Evening of Hope” Gala

September 20, 2013 By Deneen Turner

HopeHouse International® Hosted “Evening of Hope” Benefit Gala

Benefit featured Congressman Marsha Blackburn, Lee Greenwood, Jeff Allen, Matthew West, Atlanta’s Mount Paran Choir, Camp Kirkland & Metro Big Band

20 Miles south of Nashville, Tn is the quaint city of Franklin, Tn where a Franklin-based HopeHouse International® hosted its 13th annual – “An Evening of Hope” – at Liberty Hall at the Factory beginning with a Ukrainian Children’s Art Sale at 5:15 and Dinner and Program at 6:00 p.m.. Congressman Marsha Blackburn served as Honorary Chairperson along with VIPs to include State Representative Jeremy Durham of Williamson County; Rick Morton, co-author of best-selling book Orphanology; David Levey, M.D., Ph.D., Nobel Peace Prize winner; and HopeHouse representatives from Ukraine. The event included donated performances by mulitiple CMA and GRAMMY® award-winning artist Lee Greenwood, comedian Jeff Allen, two-time GRAMMY® nominee Christian Artist Matthew West, Atlanta’s Mount Paran Choir, and Metro Big Band. “An Evening of Hope” also spotlighted Ukrainian Children’s Art Sale, oil paintings by Ukrainian orphans ages 9-15.

 “Prior to the “Evening of Hope” Gala, HopeHouse International® eradicated the equivalency of FIVE orphanages, closing their doors in the Ukraine and breaking the cycle of homelessness, suicide, imprisonment, and trafficking for those orphans who have been adopted into a loving Ukrainian Christian family,” said Deneen Turner, Co-founder and President of HopeHouse International®. “As a result of the monies raised at the Franklin Gala, HopeHouse International® will now be able to close the equivalency of a SIXTH orphanage in Ukraine through more orphan adoptions. We thank our strong supporters who made this possible!”

 One hundred percent of all monies donated at the fundraiser went directly to the mission of providing adequate housing to help Ukrainian orphans become adopted. This is made possible by the HopeHouse International® HOME-TEAM who pays for all administrative expenses throughout the year. Turner was recently recognized in Washington D.C. by Congressman Marsha Blackburn and the Congressional Coalition on Adoption (CCIA) as a 2012 Angel in Adoption™ recipient for her outstanding advocacy of adoption.

Welcome to HopeHouse International®

In many countries, adequate housing is a barrier for most citizens, and it is a government prerequisite for adoption in most cases. HopeHouse International® enables adoptions by addressing adequate housing needs which result in three or more children being given a family and a future. Won't you consider joining our mission.
