One of the reasons Mix Nashville takes place at the end of May each year is that it leads into two days of golf at Harpeth Hills. It’s a great tournament called Audio Masters that benefits the Nashville Engineer Relief Fund, a nonprofit established by the Nashville section of the AES. Because of the flooding in early May and the damage to our venue, Soundcheck Nashville, we are postponing Mix Nashville until early September. But the golf tournament is still slated for May 27-28, and we encourage all who haven’t signed up to contact Nicole Cochran and bring in a foursome, or toss in a sponsorship.
“Countless individuals in the region have had their homes and livelihood affected by this tragedy,” says NERF Board President Jim Kaiser.
“This is a perfect time to donate to NERF, knowing that the funds will go directly to our audio community,” adds Cochran, event coordinator of the Audio Masters. “We are so grateful and humbled by the many local businesses and national manufacturers that have for years generously donated to this fund. It’s more important than ever that we fill our coffers so that we can help those in need.”
The Audio Masters is the primary fundraiser for NERF, a 501(c)3 corporation that has been distributing assistance to the engineering community for more than a decade. Individuals and companies wishing to make a donation or sign up for the tournament can contact Nicole Cochran at 615-293-0260 or nicole@nicotimepr.com.
