Those unable to attend may also contribute via GoFundMe.
Tim and Roxane Atwood have dedicated their lives to country music. Tim spent 38 years as the Grand Ole Opry’s staff pianist, playing with legends like Roy Acuff, Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, and Taylor Swift. At the same time, Roxane produced Grand Ole Opry Live and Opry Backstage, helping launch stars like Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton. She also worked at CMT/TNN when it was located near the Opryland Hotel before moving to its current downtown location.
In recent years, life has taken a difficult turn after Tim suffered a debilitating back injury five years ago and a recent spine surgery, after which Roxane became his caregiver. Now she needs care herself, after a stroke on September 2nd, which left her with partial paralysis. The return home required major accessibility renovations, including ramps, remodeled spaces, continued therapy, and outside caregiving.
Tim and Roxane have devoted years to supporting causes such as Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, the Humane Society, and the Musicians Emergency Relief Fund. Now, it’s our turn to support them. Whether through financial contributions, donated supplies, or heartfelt prayers, every gesture of kindness is deeply appreciated.
