Hope Nation Radio kicked off their annual 30 Days of Hope campaign with the help from the Bridgestone Arena and the world famous Wildhorse Saloon as they lit up gold for the day. The Wildhorse Saloon lit up gold around 4PM and the employees also showed their support wearing gold all day. Around 6:30PM, The Bridgestone Arena plaza turned gold in honor of those survivors, fighters, and angels of childhood cancer.
In anticipation of the kickoff gathering at the Wildhorse Saloon and Bridgestone Arena, Hope Nation Radio’s host and founder, Nile Peaytt co-hosted “Nashville Today” with Devon O’Day on WSM-AM earlier in the day from 4-6pm.
