Hats Across The Row Parade to Benefit Minnie Pearl Foundation
Hats Across the Row, a benefit for The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation (MPCF), will be held Tues., April 17 at 3 p.m. on Music Row. The event includes a parade down 16th & 17th Aves. S. with Kerry Collins and his motorcycle gang, the Hillwood High School Marching Band, antique Mini Coopers, and an array of stilt walkers, hula-hoopers and Minnie Pearl look-a-likes. Festivities will conclude with a party at Major Bob Music (1111 17th Ave. S.).
The event launches a year of celebration for The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation, marking Minnie Pearl’s 100th birthday, and the organization’s 25 years of service.

The MPCF is also collecting “Minnie Moments.” The campaign features stories from the clients, survivors and caregivers who have used MPCF’s services, as well as memories from celebrities and fans of Minnie Pearl. Share a “Minnie Moment” here.
