“Join us as we honor these exceptional honorees, each who make sure our Red Door is always open to anyone impacted by cancer. These well deserving honorees quietly have an enormous impact at Gilda’s Club, and we are delighted to shine a light on their achievements,” said President and CEO Harriet Schiftan.
The event will open with a reception and silent auction, followed by a three-course dinner, an opportunity to hear from a Gilda’s Club member in the form of a “Member Moment” and an awards program. The Red Door Bash Committee Co-Chairs, Gretchen Goldstein and Erica Jacobs have set out with the task of making this year’s silent auction the biggest yet.
“Last year’s silent auction broke all records, so naturally, we set out in 2022 to offer MORE fabulous vacation homes, art, spirits, unique experiences, and one-of-a-kind Nashville treats for this year,” said Goldstein, “There is something for everyone at every price point. The Red Door Bash Committee of fourteen amazing event planners have been working for months to make this year special and memorable.”
The Red Door Bash generates 20% of Gilda’s Club Middle Tennessee’s operating expenses and all donations immediately impact and improve the lives of people with cancer and their families.
‘We are so thankful to the community for saying “yes” to the Red Door Bash, and we would love for you to join us,” said Jacobs, “We are thrilled to be bringing together members, donors, and supporters to ensure cancer support at no charge is available for anyone touched by cancer.”
