A personal message from Sponsorship Co-chairs, Todd Womack and Reid Maclellan.
Friends,
Like your family, the Maclellans and the Womacks can attest to the immeasurable value that Erlanger provides to us all—from our first days to our last. Our children were born at Erlanger. Our family members have received care at Erlanger. And we expect to continue relying on Erlanger for many years to come.
Whether we realize it or not, each of us are the direct beneficiaries of the selfless philanthropy of Baron Frederic Emile d'Erlanger, who founded Erlanger with a $5,000 donation. One hundred and thirty-six years later, it’s our honor to invite you to continue our community’s proud and impactful tradition of investing in our shared future by sponsoring Believe Bash 2026.
As you know, Believe Bash is not just an annual fundraiser. The premier event brings together more than 1,200 of the most influential leaders and philanthropists in our region to celebrate and support a community asset that we all depend on when our families need it most.
Believe Bash 2026, hosted on Saturday, April 18, will feature a Back to the Future theme to commemorate Erlanger’s proud philanthropic past and to support its commitment to making revolutionary, next-generation technology available to us all. Your sponsorship will not only help advance healthcare in our region but also inspire others to support this life-saving cause.
In so many ways, Erlanger is a pillar of our community. As our region’s only Level I Trauma Center, children’s hospital, and largest safety net hospital, Chattanooga wouldn’t be Chattanooga without Erlanger. Furthermore, Erlanger isn’t just a medical necessity—it's an economic driver that enables the recruitment and retention of industries across our 2-million-person service area.
Erlanger’s transition to a private, not-for-profit foundation makes philanthropic efforts, especially Believe Bash, more critical than ever. Philanthropy fuels its ability to deploy cutting-edge procedures and technology while upholding its century-long commitment to providing care, regardless of a patient's ability to pay.
Your sponsorship will be a powerful investment that funds this critical mission and publicly affirms your leadership in shaping a healthier, stronger future for our community.
We hope you will join our families as leading sponsors of Believe Bash 2026.
