Hand UP for Women will hold its annual gala, which is themed “From Here to Eternity” in 2025. The nonprofit helps women in East Tennessee who are struggling with hopelessness and uncertainty to develop essential life skills. Over the last 20 years, Hand UP for Women has empowered more than 125 women to rebuild their lives, choose sobriety and foster safe, healthy relationships. The red carpet event includes food, fun and inspiration. Black-tie or formal attire can be worn, but it is not required.
