Normally, artists recieve a special goodie-bag at the CMT Awards show…Well, this year, CMT is donating $20,000 to CMT One Country to help feed America.  CMT will be feeding 130 local school children thru the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.

CMT ONE COUNTRY is thrilled to participate in the 2009 CMT MUSIC AWARDS by honoring the artists with a donation on their behalf to the Second Harvest Foodbank of Middle Tennessee,” says Lucia Folk, director of public affairs, CMT. “Taking something that is normally an extravagant gift and turning it into one that makes a direct impact to people in need is what CMT ONE COUNTRY is all about, especially in these tight economic times.”

You can watch the CMT Awards on Tuesday, June 16th.  You can also vote at www.cmt.com
