On Thursday, April 12, United Way of West Tennessee held its fifth annual First Ladies’ Luncheon. It was an afternoon to celebrate the organization’s work in the community as well as recognize those who give.

Tables decorated with a variety of themes filled the indoor space at the Jackson Fairgrounds, and attendees enjoyed musical entertainment as well as delicious food and wonderful company.

The event has become a Jackson favorite, and the organization says it is their largest fundraiser of the year.

United Way of West Tennessee serves 14 counties in the area. To learn more, please visit www.unitedway.tn.org.
