The T.J. Martell Foundation also has several other events on the horizon.

• Artists can donate stage wear, clothing and accessories as part of the “Friends of Music Row – T.J. Martell Collection.” Give the garb to My Sister’s Closet Consignment Store at Villa Place near Music Row and proceeds from the sales will go to the Foundation.

• Celebrity Tablescapes pairs Nashville’s top designers with celebrities—from country stars to local personalities—to create elaborate themed dining tabletops. Kick-off parties are set for Thurs., Aug. 7 (A Moment’s Peace Salon & Day Spa in Franklin) and Thurs., Aug. 14 (Whole Foods). The reception is Mon., Sept. 22 and the accompanying luncheon is Tues., Sept. 23, both at the Hilton Nashville Downtown.
