Music City: VPF's Signature Annual Fundraising Event

Experience the Magic of Music City – Benefiting Vantage Point Foundation

Each year, Vantage Point Foundation brings a truly one-of-a-kind event series to communities across South Carolina through our Music City events. These exclusive evenings offer an unforgettable blend of live music, fine dining, community fellowship, and heartfelt storytelling all in support of veterans and their families.

Our Music City series includes four signature events:

  • Music City Meets the Holy City in Charleston

  • Music City Meets the Lowcountry in Bluffton

  • Music City Meets the Tiger Town in Clemson

  • Music City Meets the Reedy River in Greenville

At each event, guests enjoy an elevated experience that begins with an open bar and high-end dinner service. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, encouraging connection and conversation among community members, veterans, and supporters.

Throughout the evening, attendees have the opportunity to participate in an exciting silent auction and live auction, featuring unique experiences and high-value items. Popular features also include our Bourbon Raffle and Wine Pull, adding fun and energy to the night while raising critical funds for Vantage Point’s life-changing programs. A paddle raise provides a powerful moment for guests to make a direct impact through generous, tax-deductible gifts.

The highlight of the evening is the intimate performance by Nashville Hall of Fame songwriters. These artists—all of which have written chart-topping hits for country music’s biggest stars—take the stage not only to perform their songs, but to share the deeply personal stories behind them. It’s more than a concert; it’s a rare window into the creative process and the lives of the songwriters themselves. Guests walk away feeling like they’ve just spent an evening in a private living room session with some of Music City’s most celebrated voices.

Whether you attend in Charleston, Bluffton, Clemson, or Greenville, you’ll be part of something truly special: a night of inspiration, laughter, connection, and generosity—all to support veterans transitioning to civilian life.

We’d love to have you join us! To learn more, attend, or explore sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to Keri Scougale at keri@vantagepointfoundation.org.

Join us as we bring the heart and soul of Nashville to South Carolina in support of those who served.

Induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame is one of the highest honors in music, celebrating the legendary voices behind the songs that move us. In this special event, some of Music City’s most celebrated songwriters travel to South Carolina to support Vantage Point Foundation and its mission to serve post-9/11 veterans and their families. With countless chart-topping hits between them, these artists bring more than just music; they bring stories, heart, and unforgettable moments.
