This year's Charlie Daniels & Friends concert will take place on Monday, November 22nd at the Ryman Auditorium, beginning at 7:00 PM. Charlie Daniels and friends Montgomery Gentry, Jake Owen, and Sawyer Brown will perform at the charity event that raises money for the Christmas 4 Kids organization (a division of Christmas For Kids, Inc). "We are completely out of seats," Debbie Lamberson proclaimed earlier today. "This is a very exciting time for our organization and for Nashville."
Christmas 4 Kids is a not-for-profit organization that has been in existence for over 25 years providing many children, each year, with their very own shopping spree. The funds generated by the concert, and the Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet event are used to give children from 30 different schools, a total of more than 400 children, a day-long shopping excursion.
The special day consists of a chauffeured trip from their school aboard an entertainer's luxury tour bus, lunch, and a party hosted by Santa and Mrs. Claus at College Heights Baptist Church, and finally a trip to the Hendersonville, Tennessee, Walmart where they receive $150.00 to spend on anything they want and also receive a brand new winter coat.
The Annual Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet event will take place on Monday, December 13th in Hendersonville, TN. The shopping excursion takes place on Tuesday, December 14th. For more information on how you can volunteer to help chaperone one of these special children, visit www.Christmas4kids.org.
All proceeds from the Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet and the Charlie Daniels & Friends concert (sponsored in part by 95.5 The Wolf, Bob Parks Realty (Sumner County office), Jayson Promotions, and coach manufacturer, Prevost Car, Inc.) -- November 22 -- will be donated toward the children's Christmas Shopping/Bus Excursion which is scheduled to take place December 14.
