St. Jude's
John Rich raised more than $1 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by
winning "
Celebrity Apprentice" in 2011, but the singer-songwriter isn't finished with his charitable endeavors yet. He recently announced a star-studded benefit for the medical facility, with several of his musical pals included in the line-up.
St. Jude Presents John Rich & Friends will be held on Tuesday, June 5 at the Cannon Center in Memphis, Tenn., and will feature performances by
Kellie Pickler,
Darius Rucker and comedian
Jeff Foxworthy, as well as Big Kenny, John's duo partner in
Big & Rich. The concert will serve as the kick-off for the 2012 FedEx St. Jude Classic.
"St. Jude Children's Research Hospital holds a very special place in my heart, that's why I'm excited to kick off the FedEx St. Jude Classic with the John Rich & Friends concert,"
notes John. "I don't know how you could spend your time any better on this earth than to support something like St. Jude. It's truly God's work."
