NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A new community space in North Nashville is bringing multiple generations together.

Key leaders involved in the partnership include Rolanda Cayton, chief operating officer of FiftyForward; Melvin Fowler, center director for the FiftyForward Bordeaux Senior Center; and Charmin Bates, chief executive officer of Creative Girls Rock.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
