Tennessee Fire Departments to Benefit From Auction

October 27, 2010 – Non-profit organization NASH₂0 is hosting an online auction with one-third of the proceeds benefiting the Tennessee fire departments affected by the May 2010 floods. The other two-thirds will go to two charitable organizations – MusiCares Nashville Flood Relief Fund and Nashville Musicians Association Flood Relief Fund.

The items being auctioned are donated musical instruments from Peter Frampton, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Vince Gill and others. Click here to see additional auction items.

The auction runs through December 10. At that time, Tennessee fire departments will have the opportunity to apply for a grant. Grant guidelines and information regarding the application process will be available in early 2011. Visit www.facebook.com/SupportingFirefighters for more information.

NASH₂0 is a charitable initiative to raise money from damaged instruments, equipment and other items to benefit musicians and Nashville-area fire and rescue departments in need of equipment. Flood-damaged instruments have been decontaminated and certified for safety. Some items were never touched by the water, but have been donated specifically for this fundraising effort.
