Randy Owen Receives Founder's Award

The benevolence of country music artists has always been inspirational. Randy Owen of Alabama was recently awarded on June 30th by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for the charity Country Cares which he created back in 1989. The award took place at the 50th anniversary celebration of this amazing hospital. Randy first started Country Cares back in 1989 after meeting with Danny Thomas, the famous founder of St. Jude. Randy is only one of the examples of country music artist raising and giving money to fight cancer. Bowling, softball, ski trips, and plenty of other fundraisers have been led by country artists to fight cancer. These examples show you that country music has artists that know how to give back to a cause that's just not beneficial to them.
