“You have to reside here to truly understand the depth of the devastation and physical and emotional wreckage,” said Rochelle Wanberg, Founder of the Colorado Flood Foundation. “We are overwhelmed and humbled by the heartfelt passion and outreach from our sponsors and the Nashville community as the Front Range struggles to recover from the unthinkable damage. The 2010 Nashville floods have connected the beat of Music City to the valleys of Colorado; we are confident an evening filled with music will lift spirits and provide a boost in the fundraising necessary to rebuild.”
