Mercy Community Healthcare to hold Fundraising Dinner November 3

Event at St. Phillip’s Catholic Church to Share Stories of Hope and Faith in Overcoming Adversity

Mercy is holding its first-ever fundraising dinner dedicated to the importance of behavioral health, including stories of hope and faith from people who have overcome adversity through the power of prayer and love. The outcomes that will be shared at the dinner are impressive, and demonstrate the ongoing need to support the services Mercy provides to children, families and adults. The inaugural Mercy Prayer Dinner, to be held Friday, November 3 at St. Phillip’s Church in Downtown Franklin, will kick off with a wine reception and a wonderful silent auction at 5:30 p.m., followed by a 6:30 seated dinner catered by The Daily Dish.

Dr. Monty Burks, Director of Faith Based Initiatives with the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, will serve as the keynote speaker, telling his personal story of recovery by virtue of the faith community and therapy. Others will share testimonies throughout the evening of the assistance they’ve found through Mercy Community Healthcare to overcome addiction, depression and traumatic life experiences.

Tickets are $100 per person, with tables available for $800, and can be purchased here.

As a non-profit community health provider, Mercy depends on the support of private donations to deliver quality integrated care regardless of source of payment. For more information or to get involved, please visit www.mercycommunityhealthcare.org.
