Introducing the "I Heart Avondale House" Campaign!

This February, we are embarking on a transformative journey with the "I Heart Avondale House" fundraising campaign. This campaign is a heartfelt endeavor set to impact the daily lives of those we know and love - our program participants. Moreover, the campaign will play a pivotal role in fostering the growth of our organization, allowing us to extend our reach and welcome more participants into our Avondale House family.

By taking part in the "I Heart Avondale House” campaign, you're not just helping to raise funds; you're nurturing growth and sustaining the impact of our mission. Your engagement, driven by love, will be a guiding force, supporting Avondale House in its journey to continually serve and expand its reach.

You don't want to miss The Embracing Autism Evening, Hear our Voices!

Get ready for a night of fun at the Avondale House Embracing Autism, Hear Our Voices evening event on April 12, 2024, at the River Oaks Country Club. Chaired by the dynamic duos, Emily and Allen Capps, and Ashley and Christian Nelly, this event is set to be a uniquely entertaining experience while honoring Cadence Bank. Guests will don their finest western chic wear and hum along to their favorite tunes by four of Nashville's #1 hit singer-songwriters: Phillip White, Leslie Satcher, Jenn Schott, and Mark Nesler. Adding to the excitement, the evening will be guided by the vibrant energy of Johnny Bravo, who will serve as the event emcee and auctioneer.
