We know these tornadoes are heartbreaking. Here's how you can help

The loss created by these storms is heartbreaking. Our NewsChannel 5 team wants to help, and we know that you do too.

That is why we are partnering with United Way and Community Foundation to raise money for tornado victims. Through the emergency response fund, you can designate whether you want your money to go to Davidson County or the surrounding counties.

Everything you give will go to help victims of the storm.

NewsChannel 5 is also providing $5,000 in matching money to get donations started in both funds.

Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
