Grant’s Gala 7:00 pm August 14th, 2010
Memphis, Tenn. – Great food, beer, wine, dancing and the opportunity to bid on some exceptional items and gifts at the silent auction are just some of the things you can expect from the fourth annual Grant's Gala. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Children's Heart Foundation (childrensheartfoundation.org) in order to fund the most promising pediatric congenital heart defect research.
Grant's Gala aims to raise $20,000 or more to enable The Children's Heart Foundation to continue aggressively funding pediatric congenital heart defect research.
Congenital heart defects are the most common and most deadly group of birth defects and affect nearly approximately 36,000 births a year or one birth every 15 minutes. More than half of all children born with a CHD will require at least one invasive surgery during their lifetime. Sadly, 20 percent of these children will not live to celebrate their first birthday. Even survivors of successful childhood treatment can face life-long risks from congenital heart disease, including heart failure, rhythmic disorders, stroke, renal dysfunction, and neurocognitive dysfunction.
Grant’s Gala was created in 2007 by Holly Gomila Goughnour and Michael Goughnour to honor the memory of their son, Grant Michael Goughnour, who was born on August 5th, 2002 with an undiagnosed congenital heart defect and suddenly passed away seventeen days after his birth.
Bring your friends and co-workers to Hudson Hall Ballroom at the Central Train Station (545 South Main Street) at 7:00pm on August 14th to enjoy a great evening for an important cause. Event tickets for the fourth annual Grant's Gala are $50 per person before July 31st 2010, or $65 per person after that date. Tickets will be held at the door.
Please visit our website at www.grantsgala.com for more information about this exciting event, to purchase event tickets and/or to make a donation. Thank you for your support.
Founded in 1996, The Children's Heart Foundation is motivated by the needs to bring health, hope and happiness to children impacted by congenital heart defects, the number one birth defect in the United States. They accomplish this goal by funding the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of congenital heart defects. For more information, please call 847-634-6474 or visit www.childrensheartfoundation.org.

Mike Huckabee, 44th Governor of Arkansas and 2008 Presidential Candidate, to Speak at Salvation Army’s Annual Dinner
MEMPHIS, Tennessee, April 22, 2010 – The Salvation Army and presenting sponsor SunTrust Bank, announced today that Mike Huckabee, 44th Governor of Arkansas and 2008 Presidential Candidate, will be the keynote speaker at The Salvation Army’s “Everyday Heroes: Building a Solid Community” Annual Dinner. This year’s dinner will be held at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn on Monday, May 17 at 7 p.m.
Huckabee is currently the host of Fox News Channel’s number one rated weekend hit “HUCKABEE” and is heard three times a day on ABC Radio Network’s “Huckabee Report.” Huckabee is also the author of six books and has been recognized as a national leader by many leading publications and organizations.
“We are thrilled to have such a decorated speaker who exemplifies a passion for our country and understands the importance of ‘doing the most good,’” said Major Mark Woodcock, Area Commander of The Salvation Army. “Huckabee’s career and experiences have been focused on building strong futures for our country’s communities, which fits perfectly with the dinner’s theme “Everyday Heroes: Building a Solid Community.”
Johnny Moore, Jr., President and CEO of presenting sponsor SunTrust Bank, will introduce Huckabee.
Huckabee has received national recognition for his dedication to programs close to his heart. He was named one of 2005’s ‘Public Officials of the Year’ by Governing Magazine, and in the same year, was ranked as one of the top five best governors in America by Time Magazine. Huckabee, a musician in his own right, has helped further develop music education and was even presented the Music for Life Award in 2007 by the National Association of Music Merchants for his commitment. He also has placed a national emphasis on healthy living and diabetes awareness due to his personal experience with Type II Diabetes.
Prior to being a political leader, Huckabee was a leader within his community and was a pastor. He became the youngest president of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention where he guided growing congregations.
“We think Huckabee’s enthusiasm and dedication compliments the mission of The Salvation Army, as he values strong, stable communities,” said Major Woodcock. “Our annual dinner is an important event for us to raise money for our on-going programs and services that benefit the Memphis community. We feel confident Huckabee captures the essence of this year’s dinner, which is to recognize that it’s the everyday people in our community who are the true leaders in creating solid futures for our community. Their support and actions enable The Salvation Army to continue to meet the needs in our community.”
At this year’s dinner, The Salvation Army will present its “Doing the Most Good” Award, which recognizes a Memphis volunteer who has shown outstanding commitment to building a better community. Huckabee will present the award to the winner at a reception prior to the dinner.
The money raised at the annual dinner benefits the three shelters located within the Salvation Army’s Purdue Center of Hope facility. Renewal Place, Emergency Family Shelter and the Single Women’s Lodge are geared towards providing women and children who are in need with food, shelter and the necessities to build a solid life. These three programs serve hundreds of women and children every year.
Individual tickets for this year’s dinner are $125. Tables for 10 are $1,250. Premium levels of sponsorship for the annual dinner are also available. For more information on sponsorship levels, for general information on the dinner or to book tickets, please call Elizabeth Duncan at (901) 260-9130 or visit our Web site at www.salvationarmymemphis.org.

ANF are the architects of the new Memphis Animal Shelter. The stamp set features photographs of real shelter pets and the USPS has anticipated its popularity by printing 300 million stamps.
Barbara Standing, director of development of Mid-South Spay & Neuter hopes the stamp will draw attention to pet overpopulation as well as the need for more adoptions. She says,” This is a banner event for animal lovers and stamp enthusiasts—we’re hoping many of both will come out. The event is free and open to the public and the USPS will be there with its mobile post office ready to sell the animal themed stamps and other commemorative items" The stamps are expected to sell out quickly nationwide.
To assist with the official stamp unveiling will be Congressman Steve Cohen and new shelter administrator Matthew Pepper. To emphasize the importance of the commemorative stamp, Memphis Animal Shelter will also be on hand with some pets ready for adoption. Representatives of Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services will be available to discuss affordable and often free spay and neuter options as the humane solution to overcrowding at our shelters and animal rescue groups.
“Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services is proud to work with such organizations as the United States Postal Service and Memphis Animal Services,” says Standing. “The problem of pet population is multi-faceted and requires the input and cooperation of many entities. We are excited to partner with them and look forward to a long and successful relationship.” For more information on Mid-South Spay & Neuter Services see www.spaymemphis.org

The Arthritis Foundation 2010 Tribute to Excellence
The Arthritis Foundation is pleased to announce 2010 Tribute to Excellence honorees. Douglas Browne, CEO of the Peabody Hotel and S. Terry Canale, MD, will be honored at this year’s dinner to be held at the Peabody Hotel Saturday, April 24.
Both men represent excellence in our community, and in their commitment to the Arthritis Foundation.. “Doug has made the Peabody THE Memphis destination for visitors to our city, and his leadership ensures that every guest at the hotel has an exceptional experience,” stated Karen Watson, Branch Director. “We are fortunate to have him here in our city.” Browne has served the Arthritis Foundation for more than a decade.
Canale has represented excellence in orthopaedics, throughout the mid-south and worldwide. As a past president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and as Chair of the UT-Campbell Clinic Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Canale has established Memphis as a worldwide leader in the field of orthopaedics.
“Dr. Canale has been a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon allowing him to touch the lives of thousands of mid-south children affected with orthopaedic diseases and injuries,” said Watson. He has served on the Board of the Arthritis Foundation, and is the Chair-Emeritus of the Annual Arthritis Walk. “Men of this caliber are few and far between, and we are pleased to honor them at our Tribute Dinner this year.”
This year’s Tribute to Excellence Gala will transport guests to Casablanca, and will celebrate the ongoing cooperation between community leaders and the Foundation. The Arthritis Foundation’s mission is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases. Arthritis affects 46 million Americans, including 300,000 children, and it is among America’s leading causes of disability. In the twenty-one counties served by the West Tennessee Area Office, more than 520,000 Tennesseans are affected by arthritis. Arthritis takes a tremendous toll on working people and on the national economy. The Foundation is proactive in education, advocacy and disease management programs, and it is the largest non-governmental source of funding for arthritis research in the country.

As a past president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and as Chair of the UT-Campbell Clinic Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Canale has established Memphis as a worldwide leader in the field of orthopaedics.
“Dr. Canale has been a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon allowing him to touch the lives of thousands of mid-south children affected with orthopaedic diseases and injuries,” said Watson. He has served on the Board of the Arthritis Foundation, and is the Chair-Emeritus of the Annual Arthritis Walk. “Men of this caliber are few and far between, and we are pleased to honor them at our Tribute Dinner this year.”
This year’s Tribute to Excellence Gala will transport guests to Casablanca, and will celebrate the ongoing cooperation between community leaders and the Foundation. The Arthritis Foundation’s mission is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases. Arthritis affects 46 million Americans, including 300,000 children, and it is among America’s leading causes of disability. In the twenty-one counties served by the West Tennessee Area Office, more than 520,000 Tennesseans are affected by arthritis. Arthritis takes a tremendous toll on working people and on the national economy. The Foundation is proactive in education, advocacy and disease management programs, and it is the largest non-governmental source of funding for arthritis research in the country.

Alzheimer's Day Services of Memphis (ADS) is hosting its fifth annual Forget-Me-Not Trivia Night on Saturday, March 6, 2010, in the Great Hall of the Germantown Athletic Club. Funds from the evening will help ADS continue to provide a quality therapeutic activity program for those with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders.
Trivia Night consists of teams of six competing to answer trivia questions in ten rounds of ten questions. Teams are encouraged to creatively decorate their 6-ft. table for the table decoration contest and wear costumes, all in the theme of “Classic Television.” Highlights of the evening include “big prizes,” door prizes, a fabulous dessert bar with HUGE pieces of homemade cakes for sale, and the opportunity to purchase “forget it” passes. Coletta’s will sell slices of pizza, wine and beer, but teams have the option to bring their own picnic dinner for the evening. It will be a fast-paced event during which trivia players can exercise their brains and nourish memories, two large components of the ADS mission.
Since January 1983, ADS has provided quality care for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia and support, education and relief for the caregivers and families. ADS operates two centers to serve the Mid-South that are both open Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. The cost of the daily program is over $75.00 per participant per day, but families are asked to pay $30.00 per day. ADS is a local, non-profit agency which is not affiliated with or supported by any national organization.
