PENCIL’s signature fundraising event, A Little Night of Music, is an amazing collaboration with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) that builds a bridge between the music industry and support for public education in Nashville. In 16 years, this unique and intimate evening has raised more than $1.9 million for PENCIL and the programming that supports Metro Nashville Public School students.

On Thursday, April 29, 2021, PENCIL returned to the Grand Ole Opry House to celebrate its 17th Annual A Little Night of Music. More than 200 business and community members joined us for a socially-distanced happy hour and exclusive LIVE performances, featuring Willie Jones and Drew Holcomb, curated by CAA.

During the event, PENCIL raised more than $231,460, ensuring we can continue delivering on our mission.
