BetterCookeville is a 501c4 Non-profit organization that my wife and I founded in 2018. Our mission is to promote and lift our community and enrich the lives of the citizens of Cookeville, Putnam County, and the Upper Cumberland region. Better Cookeville builds, connects, promotes, and distributes resources and knowledge by supporting local organizations, events, partnerships, and marketing for partner business and our community! • Founded and organized top community events such as Red White & BOOM and the Christmas Tree Lighting and Celebration Service. I strategically raised over $1.2 million partnering with local businesses and 100% of those funds are reinvested in the community! The 9th annual Red White & BOOM event on July 4th, which is the Region's largest event, features the 2nd largest fireworks show in TN, attended by > 50,000 people, and digital marketing for the event reached 1,550,000 impressions!
