The Night

Not a concert.
A session you
sit inside of.

Ocean Way Studio A is a century-old church on Music Row that has captured some of the most enduring records ever made. For one night it holds an audience.

Absolute Silence, a piano-driven rock band, takes the floor. Cameras roll. The room goes quiet and a record gets made in front of you.

The Beneficiary

The first night
of foster care.

When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to wait for placement. That wait can be a few hours or several days. They often have nothing with them, and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.

An Isaiah 117 House
An Isaiah 117 House

Isaiah 117 House provides a comforting home where those children can wait instead. A place that is safe, with volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets, while child welfare staff do the paperwork and find a good placement.

It began in Tennessee in 2018. It now runs 39 open homes across 13 states, with 66 more in development. The model works, and it is spreading.

Begin Again is a benefit for the Isaiah 117 House serving Nashville and Davidson County. Not the national organization: this house, and the children who walk through its door from our own city.

Reduce Trauma

For children waiting for placement on the hardest day of their lives.

Lighten the Load

For the child welfare workers doing the paperwork and finding a home.

Ease the Transition

For the foster families opening their doors, often with no notice.
