Bucky Covington Donates $25,000 to Arthritis Foundation

Posted by UC Wednesday, December 30, 2009



Country Music stars contributed a lot to charity in 2009 and Bucky Covington adds $25,000 to the total by donating his 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?' winnings to The Arthritis Foundation (Tennessee Chapter). Great stuff!


From the press release:
 
Nashville, TN / December 30, 2009 - Prior to his concert last night at the newly renovated Hard Rock Cafe Nashville, Bucky Covington presented the Arthritis Foundation (Tennessee Chapter) with a check for the $25,000 that he won earlier this year on CMT’s “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" Following the presentation, Bucky took the stage to join in the venue’s countdown to 2010 celebration. Bucky treated the packed crowd to an energizing live performance, which included his Top 10 hits “It’s Good To Be Us,” “I’ll Walk,” “A Different World” and the new track “Mexicoma” from his forthcoming sophomore album I’m Alright.  All of the proceeds from last night’s show will benefit the Arthritis Foundation (Tennessee Chapter), which serves all 95 counties across the state and is actively working to better the lives of the 1.5 million adults and over 6,000 children in Tennessee with this disease. Presented by ASCAP, the concert is a part of Hard Rock’s series of special events and week-long live music series leading up to New Year’s Eve to celebrate the venue's grand re-opening.
