INVITES YOU TO CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF
CARING FOR THE HEART AND SOUL OF MUSIC
BENEFITTING PORTER'S CALL
Tuesday September 1, 2026
Location: Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum
Cocktail reception and silent auction at 6pm, dinner and program begin at 7pm
ARTISTS AND SPECIAL GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
Evening of Stories is a heartwarming and inspiring night where artists share their journeys through both words and songs. This year’s event will feature artists who have personally benefited from Porter’s Call, telling their stories and performing their music, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into the lives of those navigating the challenges of life on the road.
For 2026, we’re excited to present the evening in a dinner format, with opportunities to meaningfully support Porter’s Call through live and silent auctions. The evening offers a close-knit celebration of hope, healing, and belonging for the artists we serve — many of whom face burnout, loneliness, and mental health challenges with little support.
With a more intimate setting this year, sponsorship opportunities are limited and expected to sell out quickly.
