Friends of Manuel, Inc. / Sponsorship Opportunities

Manuel has established a non-profit organization, Friends of Manuel Inc., in order to fulfill his dream - a design institute in Nashville, Tennesee. In Manuel's words exactly:

"As you may know, with the help of many friends and family, I have started a non-profit organization, Friends of Manuel. The purpose of this group is to raise funds for my dream, a fashion institute that will be located here in Nashville. The Friends of Manuel will financially support the school for the enrichment of the arts in the design and textiles industry. College seniors from across the world will be able to apply for these intensive internships where they will learn techniques that will be taught exclusively. I count on these students to preserve and carry on my legacy."

This year, the main stage will feature Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives, John Carter Cash, Micki Free, and many more. The proceeds from $50 admission fee benefit Friends of Manuel, Inc.
