Past Events

A few words from our fearless leader and founder, Emmylou Harris . . .

"Thank you to all, who I know dug down deep for Bonaparte's Retreat this year. We are SO grateful for your support."

The annual giving day The Big Payback returned on Thursday, May 6 and 7, 2020! And we extend a HUGE THANK YOU to our friends and supporters who gave so generously during this 24-hour online giving day.

Because of YOU, Bonaparte's Retreat raised OVER $9,500! YOUR generosity enables us to serve our senior and medically needy dogs as well as the overlooked and neglected dogs—all of whom we work so hard to rescue, nurture back to health, and place in forever homes.

Hosted by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, The Big Payback helps nonprofit organizations – just like us – raise funds and bring awareness to pressing needs in our community. With the recent disasters in our region – the tornadoes, COVID-19, and the unfolding economic downturn – this year, your generous gifts mean even more.
