Hunter Hayes & 4 Other Country Artists Who Devote Themselves to Charity
Get ready to swoon, age-apropriate young ladies. Young country sensation Hunter Hayes is performing at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday and he's bringing something important along with him: his big ol' heart. Hayes' performance of "Invisible" will support ConAgra Foods' anti-hunger charity.
And lucky for fans of handsome country singers, Hayes is in rather good(-looking) company.
Tim McGraw
Not only does Tim McGraw wear the hell out of a cowboy hat, he also runs his father’s charity, The Tug McGraw Foundation, which helps families and children with brain tumors live better lives.
Keith Urban
His sparkly eyes may be contribution enough, but Urban took the extra step when he performed with Alicia Keys in support of Live Earth in 2007.
Brad Paisley
Paisley is something of an over-achiever: he supports St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research, the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Foundation – and that’s not even all of them. Then again, he’s not the most sensitive lyricist, so it may just be a wash.
Luke Bryan
His new charity is in its infancy, but his ticket sales are already being placed into a fund for charitable purposes, so it’s only a matter of time before the ACM Awards cohost is a full-fledged philanthropist.
