Franklin, TN — Old Hollywood style will transform the Factory at Franklin's Liberty Hall into a vintage movie studio for the March 24 "Celebrate the Promise" dinner and dance with popular big band, The Kadillacs, benefitting Middle Tennessee's premier pregnancy, parenting and adoption services agency.

With over a quarter century of service, Miriam's Promise is hosting its annual benefit with regional artists Michael and Madonna Bush. Michael has created the event's signature painting, capturing the magic and whimsy of the night, according to event chairman Dietz Osborne.

"In addition to the event's signature piece, Michael Bush is creating several custom pieces benefiting the important work of Miriam's Promise available for purchase that evening and generously allowing 50 percent of the art proceeds for the agency's benefit," Osborne said. "Also, Michael's wife Madonna will have her one-of-a-kind jewelry available. With a delicious dinner presented by Chef Jason McConnell of Red Pony Catering and executed by Chef Carl Schultheis and dancing to the hits from The Kadillacs, this is one of the year's top events for fun while supporting a very worthy cause."

Last year, over 100 families were served by the nonprofit organization, including its service to incarcerated mothers in Davidson, Rutherford and Sumner County jails in addition to the many expectant parents who sought counseling in the midst of a crisis pregnancy. Critical to the agency's work are the tireless volunteers who give so generously of their time and talents. At this year's event, Miriam's Promise is honoring the contributions of founding board member Dr. Jan van Eys.

Agency Executive Director Debbie Robinson said Dr. van Eys' support has been essential.

"Children and families throughout the Middle Tennessee area have benefited from the leadership and vision of Dr. van Eys. We are taking a moment during the night of music and fun to honor and celebrate his contributions to the families served by Miriam's Promise," Robinson said.

Tickets are $125 per person or $900 for a table of eight and include dinner, dancing and adult beverages. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are also available. To purchase tickets or for more information, contact Miriam's Promise at 615-292-3500 or visit www.miriamspromise.org.
