Plaque Benefactors Needed
The Southern Gospel Music Association is fast meeting the goal of placing bronze plaques in our Hall of Fame and Museum in Dollywood for all of our inductees. In order to meet our goal completely, the SGMA would like to ask for your help.
If you would like to sponsor a plaque for one of our Hall of Fame inductees, then we will place your name or company name on the plaque. The cost of a plaque to the SGMA is $2,000. All donations are tax-deductible and you will receive a receipt at the end of the year. It takes about 2 – 3 months to have a plaque completed because each one has a hand-carved likeness of the inductee.
Below is a list of our Hall of Fame Inductees. Some have been sponsored and some are marked "needed". Please take time to view these and any donations made towards a plaque for the inductee will greatly be appreciated.
For more information, please call
(865) 908-4040.
