JACKSON, TN – The Third Annual Sip & Savor Soirée took place Saturday, October 24,
2026 at the West Tennessee Farmers’ Market in downtown Jackson.
Presented by Voya Financial, this elegant evening celebrated Southern cuisine and vibrant
community spirit and featured live entertainment from musician Brooke Cagle. The proceeds
from this fundraising event directly benefit the Patient Needs Fund, which improves healthcare
for individuals and families throughout West Tennessee, and the Hospice Home Campaign,
which aims to build a hospice home in Jackson, TN to enhance end-of-life care.
The sold-out event welcomed more than 550 guests and raised over $211,000 in support of the
mission of West Tennessee Healthcare Hope and Healing Foundation.
The Hope and Healing Foundation is incredibly thankful to the guests, chefs, and sponsors who
made the event a success and are looking forward to next year’s event!
