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

Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
