Les Gemmes Nashville 2024 Literary Luncheon
The 17th Annual Literary Luncheon was a true showcase to benefit the Lighting the Path for Girls Initiative, affectionately referred to as 'Jewels.' The approximately 500 attendees were enthralled with the Jewels and the work they are doing, as well as being molded to become outstanding citizens with careers in a variety of fields. In addition to the ten Jewels, who range from middle school to college, the Legacy Jewels were introduced, who are currently in college or graduated and working in their field of study.
Advance Financial, has been the sole supporter of the Jewels for the last ten years. "We are so proud to be long-time supporters of the Nashville Chapter of Les Gemmes, developing our young women into the future leaders of tomorrow," said Tina Hodges, CEO of Advance Financial. The Nashville Youth Poet Laureate, Jadyn Marshall was a special treat for the Jewels and the audience. In addition to the Advance Financial continuous support, some of the staff made contributions, and received the signature gift box for their support. The Jewels were peppered throughout the program which allowed us to showcase them in a variety of ways.
