CMA Commits $100,000 To Nashville Tornado Relief On Behalf Of Its Members

CMA/SESAC Tornado Relief Supply Drive Aids Seven Middle Tennessee Organizations Assisting Tornado Victims

CMA is giving $100,000 for tornado relief through The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s Emergency Response Fund, which supports affected communities and nonprofits helping victims address ongoing needs. The pledge was made Wednesday, March 11 with strong support from the CMA Board on behalf of its membership base.

“All of us at CMA live, work and play in Tennessee,” says Kurt Johnson, CMA Board Chairman and Town Square Media Senior Vice President, Programming. “Our hearts are so deeply hurt by the losses our community has suffered. We always want to be there in times of need.”

In addition to the monetary donation, CMA also partnered with SESAC to host a weeklong supply drive at their Music Row offices March 6-13. Receiving donations from more than 100 individuals, the drive resulted in over 20 truckloads of supplies being sent to seven local churches and nonprofits who service affected areas in Davidson, Putnam and Wilson counties. Items collected include bottled water, personal hygiene items, first aid kits, clothes, shoes, diapers, canned food, flashlights, batteries, trash bags, bedding and more.
