Celebrating the Season at the Annual Solaren Risk Management Christmas Party

On Monday, December 5th, Solaren Risk Management held their annual Christmas Party and Awards Ceremony. This year, the celebration was held at Monell’s at the Manor on Murfreesboro Pike. Over 250 contractors, employees and clients took part in an amazing evening of food, fellowship, and fun.

Upon entering the building, attendees entered a raffle for a chance to be one of the 20 selected to get in the money machine where they could grab all the money they could in seven seconds. In the dining room, was a buffet fit for a king. On the menu: Turkey, ham, fried chicken and all the sides and fixin’s you would expect at a holiday dinner. Everyone had a chance to eat, laugh and catch up with friends old and new while enjoying some delicious food.

Outside, under the heated tent the kids could visit with Santa, while the adults danced the night away on the dance floor and enjoyed the spirits of the season at the open bar. We learned that night that some of our staff have some amazing dance moves, and some…. not so much. The special treat of the night was Officer Tubbs reenacting some of his favorite TikTok moments. Those who won the chance to get in the money machine grabbed a total of over $5,000.00 in cash, which will certainly come in handy during the holiday season. Finally, there were bounces houses for all to enjoy including an obstacle course for the kids, a jousting ring, and a boxing ring. Our own CEO, Jack Byrd was victorious in his boxing match against Best Events Coordinator Ryan Goodpaster who choked under pressure and fell to the mat in shame.
Solaren also recognized the accomplishments of our staff during the annual awards ceremony.
