For the past month, Gibson Guitar and the Gibson Foundation have placed Music City Flood Relief Donation Banks throughout Nashville at landmark venues and businesses to help aid the victims of the recent Nashville floods. The donation banks, created from actual Gibson guitar cases, have been placed throughout the city for visiting patrons to make a donation to help aid the thousands of people who have been left homeless and without the basic necessities of everyday life. 100% of all proceeds will benefit the flood victims in Nashville and surrounding affected areas.
On Friday, June 18, a final push to raise funds for the banks will be conducted through the citywide event Night Out for Nashville – An Evening for Music City Flood Relief. All participating businesses and venues with donation banks will rally this day and night to host simultaneous final encouragements for donations to be made to the guitar banks. Music events and special incentives, including the addition of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus onsite at the Hard Rock Café for public tours throughout the day, will encompass the close of this evening with all donations made to the guitar case banks going directly to the Gibson Foundation Flood Relief Programs.
Businesses and venues where donation banks can be found are listed below. You can visit each business and venue’s website for more information.
