Encino, CA (June 7, 2013) – ACM Lifting Lives® announced today that the June “My Cause” web feature will spotlight Jana Kramer and the charity organization, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The web feature drives awareness of artist-supported charitable organizations and supports fundraising efforts for those philanthropies.
My Cause is a way for ACM Lifting Lives to tangibly demonstrate the Academy’s support of country music artists. Many people have been helped by these fantastic charities, and ACM Lifting Lives bolsters that support by increasing awareness and funding for these very deserving causes. Over the past two years, ACM Lifting Lives has donated more than $190,000 to artists’ favorite charities through this program, and will again make donations in addition to driving fan awareness.
This month, “My Cause: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital” highlights a foundation whose mission is to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Donations can be made to the charity using a donate link available with the video.
