"THE WISH PROJECT"

In 2001 Robbie founded a children's non-profit corporation in South Carolina called What Matters Most Inc.  He worked tirelessly to fundraise and recruit volunteers to work with children in shelters and hospitals alike.  As Robbie moved to Nashville to work on the "Wish Project" he began volunteering at the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital as a playroom volunteer, the Country Music Hall of Fame as a tour guide, and the Make A Wish foundation as a wish grantor.  Robbie says that his inspiration as a songwriter has come from amazing children that he has been fortunate enough to meet through his volunteer work over the past eight years.  

In December of 2004, under the guidance of his music industry mentors in Nashville, Robbie founded the GIMRecords independent record label. After spending more than two years in Nashville writing, recording, and networking with industry professionals Robbie will be joining a select group of GIMRecords recording artist on his first major benefit concert tour. 

and preparing for the "Wish Project Tour."  This tour will be a benefit tour in which a percentage of the profits will be donated to What Matters Most Inc to grant the wishes of children who have been devastated by life-altering tragedy.  While What Matters Most & GIMRecords will sponsor wishes through the Make A Wish Foundation for those children who have experienced life threatening illness, the organization will also grant wishes to children who have suffered life-altering tragedies such as abuse or natural disaster. What Matters Most & GIMRecords will work with other youth organizations as everyone involved in the concert touring event will serve as wish grantors, including the performance artists & musicians.

This amazing tour is in its planning stages now. GIMRecords and it's affiliates will be announcing the launch of the "Wish Project" tour SOON! STAY TUNED!
