Event organizers and Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center staff and special guests gathered recently to celebrate the success of Christmas Village in 2024. Christmas Village is one of the oldest charitable events in Nashville and is organized by volunteers from the Nashville Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club.

This past year’s event raised $536,200. The proceeds support special hearing and speech programs at the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center and patients recovering from traumatic brain injury at the Vanderbilt Pi Beta Phi Rehabilitation Institute.
