The annual Choices Banquet, held at the Chattanooga Convention Center, brought together community in support of those facing unexpected pregnancies.

Art Deco design, flapper fashion, and jazz music set the zeitgeist as Chattanooga turned out to support the Hunter Museum of American Art at its 2025 Spectrum fundraiser this fall.

The Chattanooga Convention Center was buzzing with anticipation for the 2025 Tennessee Women of Distinction. Janet Ayers, the co-founder of Ayers Foundation Trust, was honored for her contributions to charitable organizations in health care and education.

Proceeds benefited Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which provides free books to children in Tennessee.
