14th Annual Porter’s Call ‘Evening of Stories’ Set For August

Porter’s Call, the nonprofit dedicated to providing counsel, support and encouragement to artists and their families, will hold their 14th annual “Evening of Stories” on Aug. 29 at 7:30 p.m. at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.

As in previous years, “Evening of Stories” will feature an eclectic group of storytellers and musical guests, all sharing their unique, moving and often humorous tales and talents throughout the night. This year’s featured storytellers are Porter’s Call Founder & Executive Director Al Andrews as well as Dr. Richard Antoine White, a professional tuba player. The musical guests include Paramore, Brandon Heath and Lucie Silvas. All proceeds from the event support the work of Porter’s Call.

“Evening of Stories” is the primary fundraiser for Porter’s Call, and seeks to raise at least one-third of the organization’s annual operating budget. Sponsorships are available for individuals, businesses, foundations, churches or any group that wants to support their mission, including priority seating for the show, a VIP reception and recognition within marketing materials. Sponsorships are tax-deductible, less the cost of goods and services received. Individual tickets for this year’s event will be available later this summer. For information about sponsor packages, contact Ashley Holland at [email protected].

Porter’s Call has been bringing well-being and relief to artists and their loved ones for 22 years. To date, the team has spent over 70,000 hours working for and with clients, saving them millions on counseling fees.

“Every day, our team has the privilege of offering a safe and confidential space for artists to be off-stage and deal with the issues they face,” says Andrews. “With ‘Evening of Stories,’ we pride ourselves on creating a hope-filled event that is not just talent-packed but heart-changing, and you can become a part of the larger story with us.”
