Crazy Pitches Hosts ‘Dress Up For St. Jude’ Fundraiser

The Crazy Pitches songplugging group is hosting its first “Dress Up For St. Jude” event Sept. 10. The special evening will feature new and gently-used high-end fashion just in time for the fall awards season, with all proceeds going to benefit St. Jude’s music therapy program.

Nashville publishers Chelsea Kent of Still Working Music, Hannah Showmaker of Parallel Entertainment, Ciara Gardner of Disney Music Publishing, and Sarah Feldman of Writer’s Den Music came up with the fundraising idea after visiting the hospital.

“The trip really put on our hearts to come up with a way to give back to this great organization,” said Gardner. “St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is extremely close to Music Row’s heart, and it’s easy to see why.”

Organizers of the event are asking artists and industry execs to clean out their closets of formal wear dresses, jewelry, shoes, hanging racks, hangers, and other accessories for donation that will be sold at the Sept. 10 event at Still Working Music at 1625 Broadway in Nashville.

The following dropoff dates have been set below and anyone wishing to donate outside of these dates can contact crazypitches1@gmail.com to schedule an alternate pick up or drop off.
