The Society of Leaders In Development (SOLID) set a new record last week, raising over $74,000 at their annual Music Market during CMA Music Festival – breaking a previous record of $60,000 raised. $12,000 has been donated in support of the CMA Foundation.

Though previously a one-day event held at Bridgestone Arena and set up similar to a flea market, this year’s Music Market featured a few different ways to purchase and/or bid on items – including its new Backstage Auction, which took place in CMA Music Festival’s Fan Fair X (Music City Center) over the course of the four-day festival. The silent auction gave fans an opportunity to bid on exclusive artist merchandise, unique fan experiences, elite weekend packages, premiere concerts, signed instruments, one-of-a-kind artist & fan engagement opportunities and more from their favorite artists.
