The 9th Annual Tool Box Bash

Support Habitat’s efforts to eliminate substandard housing while tasting an array of fine wines, enjoying live music and bidding on more than 150 fabulous live and silent auction items.

The 9th Annual Tool Box Bash will take place on Saturday, November 13 from 7 to 11 p.m. at Bridges Memphis. Information regarding the theme will be announced in the coming months.

The 2009 Valero Memphis Refinery Tool Box Bash raised more than $45,000 for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Memphis, making it the most successful Tool Box Bash in the affiliate's history!

Last year's event featured a New Orleans theme with lots of great wine, fabulous auction items, yummy hors d’oeuvres and festive music from the New Orleans Jazz Ramblers. Tom Prestigiacomo served as our Grand Marshall.

All patrons received beads and masks to wear at the event, and they had the opportunity to be voted as the Tool Box Bash King and Queen (based on festive attire and a festive attitude!). They also received a complimentary event photo of themselves dressed in their Mardi Gras-cocktail finest!

The 2009 title sponsor was Valero Memphis Refinery, and the event was presented by GE Capital Aviation Services and Cummins Mid-South. Additional sponsors are The Wine Market, Bancorp South, Shierson Family Foundation, Pfizer, Oak River Homes, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Delta Air Lines, Jazz Foundation of America and DirectFX.
