15th Annual Tip Your Waiter
Table hosting and individual tickets now available! You don’t want to miss the anticipated 15th annual Tip Your Waiter luncheon, Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Center’s signature annual fundraising event. Tip Your Waiter is an enjoyable and unique luncheon event centered around raising needed funds to assist the agency in providing healing and protective services in our community.
The fast paced luncheon will keep with its tradition of providing musical entertainment, this year showcasing The Cruizin Keys dueling pianos, an engaging show for guests to enjoy. The event coordinators are thrilled to welcome back Bart Barker, with WKRN News Channel 2 as the official host, and this year the event will close with a new Wine & Liquor Pull to further benefit the Center’s work.

Your financial resources enable us to do good work in the community, for which we are very grateful.”
