Description

Dear Prospective Donor: 

 

Every day, couples turn to adoption as a way to help fill their homes with love. Their hearts are set to bring a child into their lives in order to complete the family they have always wanted. As they begin to research how best to navigate the adoption process, their hopes are often dashed by the costs involved. With an average cost of $34,000 for a domestic adoption, many families are unable to afford these upfront costs.

For families who meet the qualifications of Sacred Selections, they can apply for a grant to help make their adoption affordable. Established in 2007 and headquartered in Tennessee, Sacred Selections has provided grants for 373 adoptions! That is 373 souls that have landed safely in loving homes. These 373 families have been filled with love because of the work done by Sacred Selections, its network of local groups, and countless individual supporters. Sacred Selections has been blessed to receive funds from a private company specifically to cover all administrative costs. Therefore, Sacred Selections is one of the few not-for-profit organizations that are able to donate 100% of funds raised to directly pay the adoption fees for the grant recipients.

As a local group supporting Sacred Selections, The Middle Tennessee Friends of Sacred Selections is excited to announce our 2021 event! On Saturday, May 1st we will host our 10th Annual Sacred Selections Dinner and Auction.  With our theme of “Wild about Adoption”,we are determined to set the bar high and spread the love as we enjoy an evening at the home of the Nashville Zoo! 

With your support we can reach our goal and fulfill the hopes of several local families who are driven to adopt! Most companies choose to support our efforts with the donation of a product, service, experience gift, or gift basket to be used in either our live or silent auctions. In return, we will post your generosity on our Facebook page (@SacredMidTN) and give printed recognition at the event. Additionally, we would be glad to place a stack of your business cards next to the donated item, allowing our attendees to be able to take your contact information home.
