For the Benefit of Blue Ridge
Issue: 2020/09 – September
Add to the toll of the world’s pandemic crisis: The 2020 Annual Songwriters’ Round, featuring Country Music Songwriters’ Hall of Fame honoree Rivers Rutherford and a host of other entertainers to benefit the Blue Ridge School Educational Foundation.
The foundation made the decision to cancel this month’s event at the Trillium Club to protect the health of everyone involved – the talent, the staff of the club, and, obviously, the attendees.
Proceeds from the event would have been used to fund Blue Ridge School and Early College. The cancellation comes at a difficult time for the school, which had an abbreviated spring session because of Covid-19 and faces unprecedented challenges as it cautiously opens its doors for the 2020-2021 year.
If you’d like to help the foundation and the school as they cope with the shortfall produced by the decision to cancel the Songwriters’ Round, visit brsfoundation.com, or speak with any of members of the foundation’s board of directors – President Carl Hyde (828) 743-3586; Vice President Chuck Self; Secretary Dr. Lynn Self; Treasurer Chad Boswell; Cindy Fowler; Susan Waller; Duncan Wheale; Kaye Keller; and Eric T. Moody.
A generous benefactor has agreed to match up to $50,000 of individual donations.
