THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
2022 HERO AWARD
Anita and Larry Cash embody the essence of what it means to be Safe Haven heroes. They have a deep sense of commitment to supporting Safe Haven’s families and have contributed in myriad ways to ensure families experiencing homelessness have a place to call home. Their journey with Safe Haven began in 2015, when longtime supporter Jerry Bostelman asked Anita to participate as a Dancing for Safe Haven dancer. Once Anita was introduced to Safe Haven, she felt a calling to become more involved. She brought Safe Haven to Larry’s attention, and they began working together, each contributing unique talents to further the organization’s mission.
In 2016 and 2017, Anita chaired the Dancing for Safe Haven event, and she, along with Larry, began to bring several individuals from their networks. While Anita focused on chairing the event and involving new prospects, Larry laid the foundation for a successful corporate engagement strategy. Larry served as President of Financial Services, Chief Financial Officer for 18 years at Community Health Systems (CHS). Through his role at CHS, he greatly increased Safe Haven’s visibility and spearheaded fundraising from CHS and the healthcare sector as a whole. Many companies that would have otherwise not have known about Safe Haven joined in as sponsors. Since his retirement in 2017, Larry has continued his work in creating a legacy of support with the healthcare industry.
Dancing for Safe Haven revenue has more than doubled as a result of Anita and Larry’s efforts. They have opened their home for gatherings, given generously of their time, talents and gifts to contribute to Safe Haven’s vision of ending family homelessness. Anita also joined Safe Haven’s board and marketing impact team, lending expertise from her decorated 25-year advertising and marketing career. They also support initiatives throughout the year, such as holiday giving, Hike for Safe Haven, donation drives, giving campaigns and more.
There is nothing that Anita and Larry find more rewarding than being a part of changing lives,
particularly the lives of children. They want to lead individuals to learn more about Safe Haven, and feel that they could not have found a better place to land.
Both from humble beginnings, Anita and Larry have made it an integral part of their life’s work to bless others. Their families instilled the importance of giving from an early age, and throughout their marriage, they have made a tremendous impact by helping several nonprofit organizations. Anita and Larry have been married for 26 years, have lived in the Nashville area for 25 years, and have three children: Lauren Greenwood, Allison Cash Jenkins and Brad Cash, along with seven grandchildren.
