AND SCHERMERHORN SYMPHONY CENTER WILL
“ROLL OUT THE PINK CARPET” FOR INSPIRATIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS ON OCTOBER 28!
TO BENEFIT TENNESSEE BREAST CANCER COALITION
The 2011 ICM Faith, Family & Country Awards continue as the highpoint finale of Inspirational Country Music Week. This year’s planned schedule will run October 24-28 in Nashville and as in past years is slated to draw a broad cross section of industry, music fans, broadcast media, and artists in a well-orchestrated showcase of music and seminar related activities.
The theme of ICM-Association events this year reflect a commitment to October’s national theme of breast cancer awareness month and the organization’s corporate partnership to raise funds to benefit the Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition, www.tbcc.org. It’s an outreach close to the heart of ICM-Association Executive Director, Jason Higgins.
“My own mother is a two time survivor of this devastating disease which now effects one out of eight women nationally,” he noted in a recent interview. “From our platform of having the ability to engage music and major name artists with the meaningful aspects of a vital humanitarianism cause that would benefit Middle Tennessee, we felt our efforts to ‘Paint Nashville Pink’ would be an extremely meaningful addition to this year’s ICM-Association events.”
Special events planned include:
- Tennessee’s State Capitol will “turn pink” with special lighting effects–October 24—28.
- A special “pink carpet” roll-out is planned for honoree survivors to enter the Awards Show as VIP guests –interacting with artists and presenters for photo opportunities etc.
- A VIP honoree seating section is planned onstage at the Awards.
- NossiCollege of the Arts based in Nashville is contributing original graphics to be displayed during ICM-Week as well as producing a series of video vignettes with breast cancer survivors that will be aired during the presentation of the ICM Faith, Family, & Country Awards at Schermerhorn Symphony Center on October 28.
- A special “Silent Pink Auction” will be held during ICM-Week at the Millennium Maxwell House host hotel, October 24-27.
- Downtown Nashville businesses and restaurants will display pink in their windows during ICM-Week by special arrangement with the Nashville Downtown Partnership.
