Where your money goes
Lights on the Lawn is a student-run benefit concert. All proceeds support the Mary Parrish Center, a Nashville nonprofit that provides survivors of interpersonal violence and their children safe, accessible and compassionate housing with individualized care that promotes healing, autonomy and hope.
Since 2012, Lights on the Lawn has raised more than $825,000 for the Center. Your donation helps SOMA win the slot and puts a roof over someone's head.
