Benefit News: ACM Lifting Lives, Music City Tennis Invitational

ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp

ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp is in session this week in Nashville, Tenn. with campers from around the country participating in a week of activities and excursions around Music City. The residential camp has the dual purpose of studying Williams syndrome while providing music enrichment through performance and education. Renowned songwriter/producer Ross Copperman and songwriter Heather Morgan lead campers in a songwriting session, creating “Wherever You Go,” an original song based on campers’ personal experiences and inspirations. The camp is a partnership between ACM Lifting Lives and Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. Photos: Getty Images/Courtesy of ACM Lifting Lives
