ARTICLE: Delilah Hosts Event At Rymer Art Gallery

Friday, October 9th found North Fifth Street in Nashville closed down to traffic, but busy with onlookers as a canopy filled the street and red carpet was rolled out for Delilah; who is promoted as the most-listened-to-woman on the radio. Her persona is a woman with a soothing sound, caring heart and love of music as she touches the hearts of listeners on over two-hundred radio stations across the United States and Canada.

What you may not know about her is that she is a single mother of ten children, seven of them she adopted. She is the founder of a global foundation called Point Hope which was established to focus on children, especially those with special needs in the foster care system. Point Hope is dedicated to improving and inspiring the lives of others and is a beacon of caring and leadership for individuals who want to help as many children as possible realize their full potential. The mission is to provide long-lasting solutions that will benefit the forgotten children, and to be their voice.

Delilah hosted the exclusive party at the Rymer Gallery downtown Nashville where she not only displayed examples of her artwork, but also gave her celebrity friends a very rare opportunity and a unique chance to bid on the personal pieces with all of the proceeds donated to Point Hope. The event was organized in an effort to gain support for the organization that aspires to be the voice for forgotten children.
