Country stars like Ella Langley, Zach Top, Lauren Alaina, and Cody Johnson are lending their support to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital this holiday season.
They join a lineup of artists including Riley Green, Bailey Zimmerman, Kelsea Ballerini, Old Dominion, Brandon Lake, Tucker Wetmore, Jordan Davis, Priscilla Block, and more to promote the Music Gives to St. Jude Kids shirt. This new design joins the iconic This Shirt Saves Lives tee, and both are available exclusively to St. Jude monthly donors with a monthly donation of $19.
Approaching its 10th anniversary, the digital fundraising program has grown into a nationwide movement, with thousands of supporters using their social channels to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude. Since its launch in 2017, the campaign has become a social media phenomenon, with over one million shirts distributed to date.
Carrie Underwood used her platform to support the cause, sharing a selfie in her Music Gives to St. Jude Kids shirt on Instagram and encouraging fans to become a Partner in Hope.
Scotty McCreery, a past recipient of the Randy Owen Angels Among Us Award for his longtime support of St. Jude, also joined the effort.
“Hey Everyone, I am a huge fan and longtime supporter of the work being done at @stjude for kids facing cancer. The work the folks at St Jude are doing is saving lives and improving health on a daily basis, all at no cost to the kids or their families. It’s amazing,” he wrote on social media. “Please join me and become a Partner in Hope to get your @musicgives shirt at musicgives.org”
Additionally, over 200 radio stations nationwide are hosting events throughout December to support the campaign, encouraging listeners to become a Partner in Hope. For a monthly donation of $19 to St. Jude, participants receive a Music Gives tee. Major media partners—including Cumulus, The Bobby Bones Show, Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, iHeartMedia, Audacy, TelevisaUnivision/UFORIA, and other ownership groups—are all taking part in this effort.
Funds raised by programs like this help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food so they can focus on helping their child live.To join the Music Gives movement and get the shirt, visit musicgives.org.
