Nashville Sounds News Release
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Sounds are proud to host a pair of events to benefit the Nashville Rescue Mission and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
On Saturday, August 14th, a silent auction will be held before and during the team's 6:35 p.m. game against the Salt Lake City Bees, with proceeds from the event going to Nashville Rescue Mission.
Hosted by the wives of Nashville Sounds players, the auction will feature memorabilia from current and past Sounds, as well as Major League players and coaches. A display table, manned by the players' wives, will be set up on the first-base concourse across from the Sounds' pro shop. Bidding will begin at 5:05 p.m. and will end after the conclusion of the seventh inning. Winners will be announced after the eighth inning.

Collection boxes will be located at both entrances. The drawing will be held after the third inning, but donations will continue to be accepted throughout the game.
Stuffed animals will not be accepted due to infectious disease control.
