Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center

PIGEON FORGE - There are still seats available for the Raisin' the Roof fund-raising event to benefit Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center

   The Friday night event features Lady Vols head basketball coach Pat Summitt.

   The fund-raiser will be held from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. at Music Road Hotel and Convention Center. Tickets are $100 per person and will be available at the door.
   The funds are being raised to build a facility in Sevierville that would provide a home-like atmosphere for children suspected of being abused or neglected.
   "We need all the help we can get," Executive Director Donna Koester said. "We're extremely excited and looking forward to Friday evening. I've spoken to Pat Summitt. She's equally as excited to be involved in an organization and event to help victimized children throughout our district."
   Safe Harbor will serve children in the 4th Judicial District, which includes Cocke, Grainger, Jefferson and Sevier counties.
   The event will also feature a live auction. Some of the items being auctioned include jewelry by Max Richardson, an original poem and drawing by Louisa Walker and a formation flight for four people offered by local T-34 pilots.
   Sponsors for the event include Black Bear Jamboree chef's catering, Burchfiel-Overbay & Associates, Colonial Real Estate, Comfort Inn Apple Valley, Gary Woods Photography, Music Road Hotel & Convention Center, Riverside Towers, Sevier County Bank, Sevier County Bar Association, The Mountain Press and Williams Heating and Air.
