local women in philanthropy

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 3, 2022 – The American Red Cross, Nashville Area Chapter will host the Nissan Lifesaver Luncheon at Belmont University on March 29. This year’s event will be held at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Belmont University in Nashville. This event is held during Red Cross Month and is one of the largest celebrations of the Red Cross service and fundraiser for mission delivery to the citizens of Tennessee.

 

Grammy award winning artist, Amy Grant, will be the keynote speaker for the luncheon. Grant, a singer and songwriter who is also a member of the Red Cross’ National Celebrity Cabinet, is widely known for her philanthropy and tireless involvement in local causes and charitable organizations.

 

The chapter will honor several women who have made significant impacts in Tennessee with their philanthropic work. The honorees include:

·         Humanitarian Award: The Women of the Lynn Family, Loretta Lynn and Tayla Lynn

·         Mission Award: Danielle Breezy, chief meteorologist - WKRN News2

·         Nashville Area Volunteer Award: Denisha White

·         Lifesaver Award: Katie Crumbo, FNP-BC

 

The chapter will also honor Brentwood resident and Red Cross Board Member, Jennifer Wolcott with the Clara Barton Award. Clara Barton, the American Red Cross founder, was vigilant in her dedication to the mission of the Red Cross 140 years ago.

 

“We are honored to celebrate these amazing women in philanthropy and also to highlight the tireless work of Jennifer Wolcott,” said Joel Sullivan, regional executive director for the Red Cross Tennessee Region. “She is a constant supporter of our mission, but also takes time to donate blood regularly and has deployed to serve on several disaster responses. Mrs. Wolcott represents Clara Barton’s vision for the overall mission and represents her true servant’s heart.”

 

Lifesaver tickets are on sale now for in-person and virtually for $75 online at RedCross.org/Lifesaver. Tickets will also be available the day of at the door. Parking instructions for the Fisher Center are also available at the Lifesaver Luncheon website.
