SOLID Raises $32,000 Through Music Row Madness Fundraiser

The Society of Leaders In Development (SOLID) held its annual Music Row Madness fundraiser last night (Sept. 15).

Overall, the event raised $32,000 for the 2021 SOLID Shares partners: MusiCares, Notes for Notes, The Onsite Foundation (Ryan’s Grove), The Equity Alliance, and The National Museum of African American Music. This is the organization’s first in-person fundraiser in nearly two years. WORKS Entertainment, captained by SOLID Treasurer Luke Pierce, came in as the evening’s top fundraiser.

“I am overjoyed to see SOLID safely and conscientiously hosting full-scale events in-person again. Our Nashville community never fails to show up and support our nonprofit partners through Music Row Madness,” shares SOLID President Avery King. “Last night, even after such a long break, was no exception. Most of all, I am so humbled to serve an organization with such passionate people because, without them, none of this could ever be possible.”

“I couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who helped make this night possible,” says SOLID Community Outreach Chair Ritz McCain. “My co-chair Paul and I feel incredibly honored to have been able to raise donations for and awareness of this year’s SOLID Shares partners. It means the world to us to be able to give back to the Nashville community during such a trying season. Thanks also to our board, committee members and the larger Nashville community who showed up in many ways, safely, to make it happen.”

SOLID is a Nashville-based music industry organization for developing music business professionals dedicated to improving the future success of the music industry. Over the last three years, the organization has been able to donate over $400,000 to local charities and nonprofits and donated more than 300 hours of their time to the Nashville community.
