TFI Supports High Hopes at the 2025 Runway of Hope
On March 23, 2025, Tennessee Fertility Institute (TFI) was honored to sponsor the Runway of Hope for the first time. Hosted by High Hopes, this heartwarming event celebrated children of all abilities as they took the runway alongside their teachers and therapists, showcasing their unique strides and achievements.
High Hopes: Empowering Children Through Education & Therapy
As a trusted pillar in the community, High Hopes provides both early childhood education and comprehensive pediatric therapy services, helping children learn, grow, and thrive. The Runway of Hope fashion show was a joyful reflection of this mission, offering children the chance to shine in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Our Connection to High Hopes
Our sponsorship of this event was especially meaningful because of our very own Brooke Rittenberry. Brooke has been part of the TFI team since 2018 as a Nurse Practitioner, helping guide patients through their fertility journeys. In her role, she performs ultrasounds, manages ovulation induction and IUI cycles, conducts procedures such as saline infusion sonograms and HSGs, and sees new patients for consultations alongside our physicians.
Brooke’s connection to High Hopes is deeply personal. She first became involved with the organization as a parent in 2019, when her daughter Collins began receiving therapy services there. High Hopes became a crucial part of her family’s life, offering comprehensive support and an inclusive environment where Collins could thrive alongside her peers. Now, Brooke serves on the Runway of Hope committee, helping organize this inspiring event for the second year in a row!
“High Hopes is incredibly special to me,” says Brooke. “The Runway of Hope is [also] an event like no other. It is a celebration of these amazing children and the team beside them. I am so thankful for TFI’s support this year!”

A Night of Celebration & Inclusion
From the moment the children stepped onto the runway, the room was filled with cheers, smiles, and pure joy. The event highlighted not only their confidence but also the dedication of the teachers and therapists who guide them every step of the way.
Looking Ahead
We are proud to support High Hopes and look forward to continuing our partnership in the future. If you’d like to learn more about High Hopes and their mission, visit highhopesforkids.org.
