Dinnertainment was an amazing night of celebrating our participants at The Exceptional Foundation! We are overjoyed to announce that we raised more than $234,000 for our programs, making this year’s Dinnertainment a record-breaking event. 🎉🎉
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to those who’ve made it possible for 12 years now. A special shoutout goes to our title sponsor, First Horizon, and our presenting and platinum sponsors, Altec Stylinger Foundation and The O’Sullivan Family Foundation. We’ll see you next year! ✨✨

Season 16: Episode 6: The One with the Best Support System 💛
Friends taught us that community is better when everyone has a seat on the couch…and The Exceptional Foundation lives that out every single day.
Through year-round programs, they create a space where friendships grow, confidence builds, and everyone belongs. It’s more than just support…it’s a community that shows up for each other.
We’re so grateful to have them as one of our amazing community sponsors and a sponsor for this year’s Mutt Strut. Because when we show up together, we all go further. 🐾
Join us on April 11 at Homewood Central Park and be part of something bigger.
