The Eli Grow Foundation was founded by Eli’s family in 2017, inspired by a vision Eli shared just two weeks before his untimely passing. He dreamed of creating a modern indoor athletic facility that would enable local students to enhance their athletic skills. In addition to this goal, the foundation also aims to provide scholarships to deserving students. The Grow family is also behind Legacy Creamery, a beloved establishment in Tullahoma known for its delicious and uniquely flavored gelato. The creamery employs a team of high school and college students who help serve gelato both at their store and at various local and regional events. Remarkably, 100% of the profits generated by the creamery are donated to support the Eli Grow Foundation, ensuring that Eli’s legacy continues to make a positive impact in the community.
