“Excitement is building as Country for a Cause, an annual event benefitting Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital, is gearing up for its annual event. Thousands of dollars have been raised by our annual event up to this date and we are so excited to raise even more this year,” confides Country For A Cause President, Sherri Forrest. “Our concert will be held at 3rd and Lindsley once again this year because of their gracious support, superior sound system, and a listening room environment that is worthy of the talent who make this annual event a tremendous success. Over the years, this event has become known as the unofficial kick-off to the CMA Fan Fest since we hold it on Wednesday night before all of the festivities kick into action. When attendees purchase tickets to Country For A Cause, they are supporting children! Year after year, we continue to receive praise and acclamations on what a great show this is and we are most grateful. If past events are any indication, we expect another sold-out event this year.”
“Country for a Cause is one of my favorite annual events,” said Meredith “Mamie” Shepherd, Senior Program Manager for Seacrest Studios at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. “We are so fortunate to have T.G. Sheppard and Kelly Lang as wonderful hosts and supporters of our patients and families. Huge thanks to the entire team that puts on such a wonderful night of music to make a difference for the children who rely on us for care.”
