Nashville, Tenn. (June 25, 2010) – Dream Row and the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) present the FAAN Benefit Show at 12th & Porter on July 16 from 7 to 10 p.m., featuring Rachael Schleicher, Amanda Nagurney, and Brinn Black.

“We greatly appreciate Rachael, Amanda, and Brinn for sharing their talent to support FAAN,” says Julia Bradsher, FAAN’s CEO. “With approximately 12 million Americans who have a food allergy, it is important that everyone learns how to respect every bite.” 

All of the proceeds from the FAAN Benefit Show at 12th & Porter will support fundraising efforts for the upcoming Walk for Food Allergy in Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday, Aug. 28, in Centennial Park. Admission to the concert is $5. Proceeds from both events will help FAAN support its mission to raise public awareness, to provide advocacy and education, and to advance research on behalf of all those affected by food allergy and anaphylaxis

“Food is such a large part of our lives, that it’s nice to help organizations advocating for those with food allergies,” said Dan Shaw, Dream Row Operations Director.

Rachael Schleicher is a rising junior at Belmont University studying vocal performance and business, with dreams of owning her own business, teaching voice lessons, and performing.
