The Big Payback starts in One Month! We are very The Big Payback starts in One Month! 

We are very excited about The Big Payback on May 5 -6! The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee hosts this 24 hours of online giving each year. We are excited to participate in order to increase awareness about Travellers Rest and our mission as well as raise valuable funds. This year we are extremely grateful to the Henry Laird Smith Foundation who have generously agreed to provide a dollar for dollar match up to $6000. We are specifically raising funds during The Big Payback to have a GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) survey conducted on specific areas of the property. 
We will be sharing more this month about what GPR is and why this survey will be so valuable, so stay tuned! In the meantime visit www.thebigpayback.org to create your donor profile and learn more about this great event!
