Davis House’s Annual Button Ball will take place on September 7th, 2024, at The Factory at Franklin.

Join us for a glamorous evening of dining, dancing, and donations – all to support a great cause! Button Ball is a black – tie event, chaired this year by Darci Caesar and will feature fun and meaning – all while raising money to provide services to children and their families struggling with sexual and significant physical abuse, or some other form of trauma. Davis House promises an experience you’ll talk about long after the evening is over.

The name Button Ball derives from the story of our “Button Jar.” After their forensic interview, each child chooses a unique button that represents them and places it in the jar, which holds the thousands of buttons of children we have served in the past. The jar is inscribed with “You Are Not Alone”—a message we think is crucial for their healing journey. Your participation at Button Ball directly impacts the lives of those thousands of children.

Presented by our Premier Sponsor, Primrose Schools of Cool Springs & East Franklin, the evening will include a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres, a bourbon grab, an elegant dinner from Catering & Events By Suzette, live band, and silent and live auctions. Our keynote speaker will be Jessica Willis Fisher sharing her inspiring personal story and playing live music.

Funds raised provide investigative and healing services to children and their families who are facing sexual and significant physical abuse. These services include Forensic Interviewing, Child & Family Advocacy, Trauma-Focused Counseling, Case Management, and Prevention Trainings.
