John Rich

Nashville’s WSMV Channel 4 has teamed up with the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee for a fundraiser to benefit victims of the recent wildfires in East Tennessee. The fundraiser is being held Friday (Dec. 2) from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m.

The event will broadcast on WSMV Channel 4, and will feature performances and appearances from Peter Frampton, John Rich, John Oates, Kristian Bush, Ty Herndon and more. Other artists will share pre-recorded messages during the broadcast.

Funds from the event will go to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville Emergency Response Fund. Channel 4 will collect monetary donations online and in person (cash or check only). Those wishing to give can visit WSMV.com or visit Highland Park Church at 5710 Knob Rd. in Nashville on Friday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. to drop off donations.

Donations can also be made directly to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Dolly Parton has also announced the My People Fund, expected to give $1,000 a month to each family who lost their homes in the devastation. Interested parties can visit dollywoodfoundation.org to donate there, too.
