May 6th is the Big Payback!
In the last seven years of The Big Payback, Middle Tennessee has come together to raise nearly $17 million for local nonprofits.
This year, THEI hopes to raise $6,000. Can you help us reach our goal to fund a long-term, sustainable Alumni Relief program so that our students who have families to support and goals to achieve can stay on track in the midst of the COVID-19 uncertainty?
