The Eli Grow Foundation was established by his family in 2017 to fulfill a dream Eli shared just two weeks prior to his death. His hope was to one day build and equip a modern indoor athletic facility to help area students improve their skills. The second purpose of the foundation is to provide scholarships.
The Grow family owns and operates Legacy Creamery in Tullahoma. The creamery is dedicated to crafting incredibly tasty and uniquely flavored gelato. With the help of a staff of college and high school students, the Creamery serves gelato at the store location, as well as at local and regional events and venues. 100% of the profits are donated to the Eli Grow Foundation.
“It’s an honor once again to hold this inspiring event to honor the memory of our son Eli,” Cassy Grow, Eli’s mother and Legacy Creamery proprietor, said. “This is an event where there truly is something for everyone, with free dash events for kids and lots of awards to the official runners. We also provide food and beverages and delicious gelato to all attendees.”
