Thanks to the incredible partnership of the Nashville Predators Foundation and a community of generous businesses, faith communities, and volunteers, children in foster care waiting for adoptive families were invited to Bridgestone Arena for a special day filled with fun, connection, encouragement, and the opportunity to share their stories through professional videos and photography.
Recently, Tennessee Kids Belong hosted an I Belong Project™ filming day at The Orchard Church in Memphis, creating space for an unforgettable day filled with joy, connection, and hope.
The I Belong Project™ exists to help children in foster care find permanency, connection, and belonging. These filming days are about more than capturing photos and videos—they are about creating moments where kids get to simply be kids. Moments where they are celebrated. Moments where their voices matter.

Earlier this year the I Belong Project™ traveled to Memphis, TN for a powerful, hope-filled day we won’t soon forget. What unfolded was more than a film shoot — it was a day filled with belonging, dignity, and possibility. Meet 16 kids in need of adoption.
Earlier this year, Tennessee Kids Belong had the incredible opportunity to host an I Belong Project™ video shoot at GEODIS Park, home of the Nashville Soccer Club - and what a day it was! From the moment the kids arrived, they were welcomed like VIPs, surrounded by encouragement, laughter, and community.
This summer, Tennessee Kids Belong brought the I Belong Project™ to the Knoxville Zoo, and let’s just say—it was a wildly good time.
The zoo offered a playful and welcoming space for kids to just be kids. Laughter, wide-eyed wonder, and a few unique animal encounters filled the day.
At a recent I Belong Project™ filming day we had the pleasure of meeting nine incredible kids in Chattanooga. Kids felt seen, supported and loved surrounded by amazing partners and volunteers. It was a special day spent capturing stories that matter.
