Just outside of Franklin, sits the beautiful gated community called The Grove in College Grove, Tennessee. This was the site of the annual Grover Benefit Concert last Sunday night, September 24th, at the Grove Manor.
Many residents from this gorgeous residential community attended along with supporters of the charity on the balmy fall evening to enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and the concert while participating in the silent action that included an autographed guitar from Carrie Underwood, signed Mike Fisher hockey stick, signed Vince Gill lyrics, and much more. All net proceeds raised were donated to Agape Animal Rescue, Williamson County Animal Center, and The First Tee.
The concert took place outside on the lawn of the Grove Manor in front of the pond among soft candlelight sprinkling the beautifully-manicured grounds close to the tastefully-decorated stage that had been set up for the event. Beginning with a great acoustic set by hit songwriters, Neil Thrasher and Kelley Lovelace, featuring some of their hits made famous by Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, and Randy Houser. Followed by a fantastic full band performance by Randy Houser, whose vocals are strong as ever and he interacted comfortably with the crowd throughout his set. Following his performance Steve Cropper, Lee Brice, and Jamey Johnston joined the fun by closing out the night to the delight of the crowd.
Such a wonderful and successful evening for a good cause! We appreciate being invited to enjoy this incredible annual event that was followed the next day by a golf tournament to raise funds for Agape Animal Rescue.
About Agape Animal Rescue
At Agape, we have seen it all when it comes to man’s best friend. But despite the misfortunes these animals have endured, our commitment to them remains steadfastly clear: to provide loving, emotionally stable, nurturing foster care for them while they wait for their forever homes, for their forever families.
Through no fault of their own, our dogs found themselves in homeless situations. We are dedicated to making a positive difference in these dogs’ lives from the moment they enter our foster program. Our goal is to help these animals in every way we can…emotionally, socially, physically…so that the transition onto their forever homes will be as smooth as possible. We strive to teach our dogs basic obedience skills, including proper leash manners and friendly house manners. And we strive to match our dogs with the best family possible, working through as many applications as necessary to find a home that offers the dog the most fulfilling, enriched life.
On behalf of all the dogs waiting for a forever family, we thank you for your interest in improving the lives of these deserving animals.
