- Funds support music education in under-resourced schools.
- Over $1 million raised since the event's 2019 launch.
The Save the Music Foundation will host its seventh annual "Hometown to Hometown" fundraising event on November 10th at City Winery in Nashville. This year's honorees include acclaimed musicians Amy Grant and Chris Isaak, alongside industry executives Cesar Gueikian of Gibson Guitars and Nat Zilkha of Firebird Music.
The event aims to raise crucial funds for music education programs. Specifically, all proceeds will directly support under-resourced public high schools in Nashville, New York City, and various locations across California. This initiative ensures that students have access to instruments and music education, fostering the next generation of musicians.
Since its launch in 2019, the "Hometown to Hometown" event has successfully raised over $1 million. The Save the Music Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has a 27-year track record of addressing systemic inequities in music education, having donated $75 million in instruments and technology to thousands of schools nationwide.
