Artistic Change needs support and we are looking to you!
Dear Vicki Yates,
Artistic Change, an event sponsored by Monroe Harding Inc., is hosting their annual
Artistic Change event on Saturday, March 21st and needs the media support from you, Vicki and
the entire News Channel 5 Nashville team. This event is unique in that it allows our troubled
youth of our facilities to create all of the art by hand In order to auction off to individual buyers
where the money is then given to local charities around Nashville.
Monroe Harding Inc., has been around since 1924 and has served as the Nashville areas
premiere facility to house troubled and at-risk youth of the community and surrounding areas.
Monroe Harding is also a not for profit organization who has partnered with local and national
organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Hands on Nashville, American Red Cross, Red
Cross Blue Shield and more. We also are an tax-exempt organization as classified under section
501(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our event needs exposure because it is a unique one. It allows our youth to do something
creative and reap the internal benefits of sending the profits to charities around the Middle
Tennessee area. It is important that we show the local community the good that is being done by
our youth and the giving back that is going to further support other non-profit organizations.
Should you need to contact someone in regards to our request, feel free to contact Laura
Ward, Manager of Public Relations and Marketing Events at (615) 234-5723 ext. 3. She is
available Mondays between 1:30-2:00 PM, Tuesdays between 11:15-12:15 PM and Thursdays
between 9:00-9:45 AM.
Thank you,
