NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A global support program is returning to Music City for CMA Fest.

Red Frogs USA, is an Australian-based organization that came to Nashville last year for both CMA Fest and Fourth of July. The group works to avoid dangerous situations like intoxication or sexual assault at big events.

Last year, Red Frogs coordinated with almost 40 volunteers to hand out over 33,000 cups of water and charge nearly 2,000 phones

This year, they will have 100 trained volunteers and three support stations strategically placed across downtown: 

  • Bridgestone Arena Plaza 
  • Nissan Stadium 
  • In front of the Hard Rock Café 

Volunteer teams will also be on Broadway throughout the day and night looking out for attendees who may need help

On 150-year anniversary, YMCA of Middle Tennessee looks at its past and future

Happy Birthday to the YMCA of Middle TN. They just celebrated their 150th anniversary! A lot has changed with the Y over the years. I have personally seen some of that firsthand when I was a long-time board member at the Northwest Family Y and part of their Black Achievers Program. Forrest Sanders has a look back.
