Big Wigs: The Big Wig Gig Brightened Smiles for Interfaith Dental
It wasn’t just about the wigs — from bouffants to mullets and everything in between — at the Big Wig Gig. Interfaith Dental’s benefit happened on a beautiful spring evening at the Musician’s Hall of Fame and Museum. This special celebration marked Interfaith Dental’s 30th anniversary, while honoring all the past, present and future bigwigs who have supported the organization’s mission to provide transformational oral health care to those experiencing poverty.
Key “bigwigs” — like Interfaith Dental founder Tom Underwood and Interfaith Dental CEO Rhonda Switzer-Nadasdi — greeted guests and thanked patrons for their support. “As we celebrate 30 years of spreading healthy smiles in our community, I’m grateful for all the bigwigs and their leadership through the years,” Rhonda said. “But [I’m] also [grateful for] all the new bigwigs that just learned about us — their support is what makes the mission possible.”
Rhonda continued, thanking event co-chairs Terryl Propper, Jeannie Beauchamp and Katherine Hall. She also recognized the event planning committee and the Interfaith Dental board of directors. “Their dedication has been key to our patients’ success,” she said. “Here’s to many more years together of making smiles that can change everything!”
The band Rewind performed live throughout the evening. Guests sipped on signature cocktails, and a buffet catered by Chef’s Market offered an array of dishes to suit every palate. Guests toured the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum and its many interactive exhibits, where they could play instruments, experience the recording process and sing a little bit of karaoke. A dance party soon commenced.
Last year, Interfaith Dental served nearly 3,500 patients in 10 Middle Tennessee counties. If you’d like to volunteer, donate or apply for services, you can visit Interfaith Dental’s website for details.
