Our 4th Annual Deep in the Heart was held at The Venue at Boyd Farm on Saturday, September 28, 2024. We kicked off the event with a special reception for our VIP sponsors and donors. Following, guests enjoyed dinner, a silent and live auction of unique items and experiences, and live music with country singer-songwriter Brandon Bamburg!!! Heartfelt inspirations for Empower 7’s vision were shared by our Founder, Melanie Cobb. We were privileged to raise funds and awareness for our critical initiatives to support vulnerable youth in our communities: Lighting Their Way Campaign and Love Your Neighbor programs.
