NOLENSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A youth softball league in Nolensville is still looking for answers after a shed fire destroyed all of their equipment.

Fire destroys Nolensville Youth Softball team's gear in overnight fire

It happened just after midnight back on July 4th. Now there's a reward to catch the person who may have set the fire.

A GoFundMe, which was made to help the team, has reached just over half of its $15,000 goal so far.

They are raising this money to cover the costs of replacing essential equipment such as balls, catchers' gear, bases and more.

The shed was a total loss in the fire so there's so much they're trying to recover.

Nolensville city leaders are chipping in by unanimously signing a resolution allocating $1,000 from the city's general fund and $1,000 from Crime Stoppers as a reward for information that leads to an arrest.

The fire department says they're looking to identify anyone who was in the area between the hours of midnight and 2 a.m. on July 4th.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
