Big & Rich receive CRS Humanitarian Award
Big & Rich's charitable endeavors date back more than a decade, ranging from visiting individual patients in hospitals, to staging benefit concerts for the Country Music Hall of Fame and the 173rd Airborne Memorial, to their U.S. and international outreach. The duo has made a point throughout their career to help underprivileged children and families in struggling countries like Uganda, Sudan, Haiti and Kenya.
St. Jude Children's Hospital, Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the 173rd Airborne Memorial Fund, Project Clean Water, Nashville's Mt. View elementary school, the Special Olympics, Vanderbilt Hospital, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Nashville Symphony are some of the causes the duo embraced.
"Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich individually and collectively have used their success to set a personal example for all of us to follow as humanitarians," says CRS Executive Director Bill Mayne. "Their selfless contributions have gone a long way to help make life better for countless men, women, and children, both today and tomorrow."
