They had previously hosted such events for Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood reported that they were searching for a new venue but would not publicize the location once secured. Sorta hard to have a secret fund raiser. A follow up story by the Tennessean today disclosed that after being turned down by Second Harvest Bank ,which also had previously hosted their events, they are going to have their the fund raiser at The Temple , a Jewish synagogue in Nashville. The story alluded to the Jewish Center backing down due to pressure from Catholics!! While happy to have a venue, Teague, stated he did not know if the venue was donated or rented as the fund raising appeals went out.
