“ROLL OUT THE PINK CARPET”  FOR INSPIRATIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS ON OCTOBER 28!
INSPIRATIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION: “TURNING NASHVILLE PINK” IN A MEANINGFUL OCTOBER CELEBRATION OF MUSIC AND AWARDS
TO BENEFIT TENNESSEE BREAST CANCER COALITION
(Nashville, Tennessee) –October 10, 2011 –The Inspirational Country Music Association is this year moving to a new level of Nashville humanitarianism with a “Turning Nashville Pink” theme being embraced both during Inspirational Country Music Week, October 24-27th and the ICM Faith, Family, & Country Awards presentation October 28 at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Numerous businesses throughout downtown Nashville will display pink in support of the cause during Inspirational Country Music Week, and the state capitol itself will be showered in pink lighting for the entire week to honor and raise awareness for the cause.

The 2011 ICM Faith, Family & Country Awardscontinue as the highpoint finale of Inspirational Country Music Week. This year’s planned schedule will run October 24-28 in Nashville and as in past years is slated to draw a broad cross section of industry, music fans, broadcast media, and artists in a well-orchestrated showcase of music and seminar related activities.

The theme of ICM-Association events this year reflect a commitment to October’s national theme of breast cancer awareness month and the organization’s corporate partnership to raise funds to benefit the Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition, www.tbcc.org.  It’s an outreach close to the heart of ICM-Association Executive Director, Jason Higgins.

“My own mother is a two time survivor of this devastating disease which now effects one out of eight women nationally,” he noted in a recent interview. “From our platform of having the ability to engage music and major name artists with the meaningful aspects of a vital humanitarianism cause that would benefit Middle Tennessee, we felt our efforts to ‘Paint Nashville Pink’ would be an extremely meaningful addition to this year’s ICM-Association events.”

Special events planned include:
 
  • Tennessee's State Capitol will “turn pink” with special lighting effects–October 24—28.
  • A special “pink carpet” roll-out is planned for honoree survivors to enter the Awards Show as VIP guests –interacting with artists and presenters for photo opportunities etc.
  • A VIP honoree seating section is planned onstage at the Awards.
  • NossiCollege of the Arts based in Nashville is contributing  original graphics to be displayed during  ICM-Week as well as producing a series of video vignettes with breast cancer survivors that will be aired during the presentation of the ICM Faith, Family, & Country Awards at Schermerhorn Symphony Center on October 28.
  • A special “Silent Pink Auction” will be held during ICM-Week at the Millennium Maxwell House host hotel, October 24-27.
  • Downtown Nashville businesses and restaurants will display pink in their windows during ICM-Week by special arrangement with the Nashville Downtown Partnership.
  • Special concerts will be held nightly at 6:30 P.M. at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel during ICM-Week with $10.00 ticket prices benefiting the Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition.

Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E.
