On Thursday, March 5, the Nashville Sounds Baseball Club, on behalf of owners Frank Ward and Mashiro Honzawa, announced a donation of $100,000 to Music City Inc., the 501c(3) charitable arm of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp.
The funds will go directly towards providing immediate assistance and support to families that have been affected by Tuesday morning's tornadoes. In addition to the donation, numerous members of the Sounds front office have lead relief efforts in the Germantown area near First Horizon Park. Those recovery efforts will continue well into and beyond Sunday evening.
Additional donations are also being made to the Nashville Sounds from the baseball community, including a $10,000 donation from the Sounds parent club, the Texas Rangers. The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation will also donate the proceeds generated from the team's Texas 2 Split Raffle at a home game to be announced early in the 2020 season to the Sounds Foundation.
Other Minor League Baseball Clubs or any individuals wishing to donate to the Nashville Sounds Foundation can do so by visiting milb.com/nashville/community. All funds raised will be used to help those in Nashville directly affected by the tornados.
