HOST A BENEFIT CONCERT FOR
THE HELLO IN THERE FOUNDATION

Interested in hosting a concert to benefit the Hello in There Foundation? We would love to help your event be a success! Once you have secured your favorite bar or venue, assemble a lineup of your favorite John Prine-loving musicians for a night of camaraderie and fun. 

Some ideas and suggestions to make your event a success:

  • Talk to the bar or restaurant about offering a drink or food special for the night, then donate a portion of the sales to the foundation (the Handsome Johnny is always a popular choice!)

  • Charge admission, either through an online platform like Eventbrite or asking folks to donate at the door.

  • Promote your event in less traditional venues where your fellow music lovers may be, like record stores, the library, and music schools.

  • Incorporate a silent auction.

  • Talk to local businesses about helping sponsor your costs or adding fun elements to enhance the night.

  • Place tip jars throughout your venue where attendees can provide cash donations. You can also print a QR code (we can help you create one!) on the jar’s label to encourage donations directly to the Foundation.

  • Enlist your friends as volunteers to help with day-of logistics.

  • Take some photos and tag @sayhellointhere on Instagram! We’d love to acknowledge your hard work and share it with other fans. We can also help promote in our Instagram stories if you tag us.

  • Download this flyer, which you can print to help promote the foundation’s work, and to collect mailing addresses if folks want to learn more about us. You can send copy of the mailing list sign-up sheet to info@thehellointherefoundation.org when the event is over.

  • Contact us to have a package of stickers, postcards, and other support materials shipped to you. We can also set up a customized donor page just for your event.

Once your event is over, net proceeds can be mailed to us at the following address, or donated online:

The Hello in There Foundation
PO Box 150222
Nashville, TN 37215

For donors who give directly through our website, we will handle thank you letters and donation acknowledgements, and invite them to join our mailing list.
