‘Let’s Talk Nashville’ Cancer Benefit Set For April 14

Ben Jumper’s “Let’s Talk Nashville” benefit is scheduled for April 14 at 5:30 p.m. at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in downtown Nashville. This event benefits the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Program at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and Immunotherapy Research at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.

“Let’s Talk Nashville” allows guests to dine at tables hosted by long-time industry leaders. This year’s guest hosts include Tony Conway (Conway Entertainment Group), Rod Essig (CAA) and Mike Smardak (Outback Presents). The event also features a silent auction with items donated by each guest host.

“I think cancer touches all of our lives directly or indirectly,” says Jumper, former CEO of Soundcheck and Crew One Production and a cancer survivor himself. “Many cancers are being cured every day because of research. My life was saved by immunotherapy. I had stage four lung cancer, and I just passed the five-year mark. My lungs are clear of cancer. The other part of my journey is to help cure all childhood cancer.”

Tax-deductible tables and individual tickets are on sale here.
