101. Alexis Daniel - 2026 Events
Alexis Daniel sits down with us to chat about the new and returning 2026 events across Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga!
2025 was filled with both new and returning events that brought community and hope to families facing childhood illness. While we cherished our annual No-Show Ball, we’re excited to change things up with the introduction of a new Couples Pickleball Tournament, made possible by the continued support of our incredible No-Show Ball sponsors.
In partnership with Northwestern Mutual, we’re also continuing our meaningful relationship by combining our annual cocktail party and auction with their Bourbon & Blues event—creating a special new experience: Forrest for Bourbon & Blues, coming Fall 2026.
In this episode, we look ahead to what’s in store for the year to come, share what’s new, and celebrate the events that continue to bring our community together. Thank you for supporting us through your donations, event participation, volunteering, and—most importantly—your heart for families who need it most.
We can’t wait to see many of you at one (or more!) of our upcoming events.
