Over plates of chicken piccata, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and decadent desserts, local changemakers gathered at the Chattanooga Marriott Downtown for the Dinner of Champions. The Bethlehem Center celebrated three hometown heroes who have made lasting improvements in the community through this event. The dinner’s proceeds help them provide education, resource access and youth development programs in their overarching mission to break the cycle of poverty and encourage self-sufficiency.
