Dear Nashville Community,
I would like to extend my
heartfelt thanks for your generosity at our recent Phil Everly Concert Benefit
featuring Paul Simon.
With this being our first event
within Nashville, we were overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from your
community. Because of your contributions, the event raised $120,000, all of
which will go towards the Foundation's mission of preventing and curing chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease and improving the 
lives of
all people affected by COPD.
lives of
all people affected by COPD.
We would like to thank Patti
Everly whose steadfast commitment to raising awareness of COPD and honoring the
memory of her husband Phil provided the impetus for making this concert a
reality.
The evening would not have been
such a success without the exquisite performance by Paul Simon. Royce Risser
and Mike Dungan lent their voices to a very profitable live auction with
"Little Miss Dynamite" Brenda Lee adding an effervescence and
playfulness to the entire event. Our sincere gratitude to Bill Mayne for
everything he did to make this event a success.
The benefit could not have
occurred without Sylvia Roberts' generosity in donating her home for this exceptional
event.
Above all, thank you for
supporting the COPD Foundation. We look forward to our continuing relationship
with you.
Sincerely,
John W. Walsh
President and Co-Founder, COPD
Foundation
