Over the past five years, Autism Speaks has given back more than $2 million to the state of Tennessee. Funds are used to support the initiatives at the Autism Treatment Network (ATN) at Vanderbilt University, science grants, community grants, AutismCares grants, Baker Camp Scholarships and various toolkits that are available for free, including the 100-Day Kit, developed to provide much needed support to families during the initial diagnosis period.

Ty Herndon Releases New Single, “Stones,” Prepares Album For 2012 Release

Posted by Country Girl on November 16th, 2011

Ty Herndon has released “Stones,” the lead single from his anticipated new studio album, due out in early 2012.

Herndon originally recorded “Stones” for a project that was completed several years ago but never released. While searching for new material for his upcoming album, however, Herndon rediscovered the song and decided to re-record it. The updated version impressed the chart-topping Country singer so much that he decided to release “Stones” as the album’s lead single.

“The song ‘Stones’ is really a metaphor for all of those defining moments in our lives that we are faced with,” says Herndon. “Like the lyrics say, ‘from the cradle to the grave, our lives are paved with stones.’ I’ve always felt it was such a remarkable and thought-provoking song, and it’s really stuck with me through the years. I’m just thrilled that I’m finally able to share it with my fans. I can’t think of a better song to release as the first single from my new album.”

“Stones” is the first new music released by Herndon since his critically acclaimed, award-winning 2010 album, Journey On. The project earned a Grammy nomination in the Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album category and won a Dove Award for the inspirational duet, “When We Fly.” The “Journey On” title track was also selected as the signature song and music video for the national nonprofit ALS organization, The Kevin Turner Foundation.

“Stones” was written by Jimbeau Hinson, Kim Tribble and Jon Michaels. Preview and purchase “Stones” via iTunes here or at Amazon.com here.

Kevin Turner and Ty Herndon Help Raise More Than $4.3 Million For ALS Therapy Alliance

Posted by Country Girl on September 10th, 2011

Former NFL player Kevin Turner and Country artist Ty Herndon were on hand Sept. 1 at Boston’s Fenway Park to help present a check to the ALS Therapy Alliance for $4.3 million.

In June 2011, Turner and Herndon were named celebrity spokespersons for the 10th annual CVS/pharmacy “Researching A Cure” ALS fundraising campaign. The campaign ran June 5-25 to help raise funds for ALS research and benefit the ALS Therapy Alliance. Herndon’s “Journey On” video (view here) features Turner and was incorporated into the CVS/pharmacy in-store video spots, which ran in approximately 7,200 CVS/pharmacy locations. Funds generated by this year’s campaign bring the total amount raised so far to more than $27 million. Visit www.ALSTherapyAlliance.org for more info.

Campaign co-chairs Treg Charlton and Barry Winovich were also in attendance for the check presentation. Charlton, a regional director of real estate for CVS Caremark, and Winovich, a childhood friend of Charlton, both suffer from the ALS disease.

Turner’s own non-profit ALS organization, The Kevin Turner Foundation, staged a private fundraiser in Nashville, Tenn., on June 18 that raised more than $100,000 for ALS research. Diagnosed with ALS in May 2010, Turner formed the foundation to help raise awareness about the connection between concussions and the ALS disease and to generate funds for research. Visit www.KevinTurnerFoundation.org for more information.

Ty Herndon & Amber Hayes Support ALS

Posted by TawnyTucker on June 20th, 2011

Ty Herndon and Amber Hayes were on hand this past weekend to help former Alabama and NFL player Kevin Turner raise just over $100,000 at a private Nashville ALS fundraiser event.

Held Saturday, June 18th, at a private estate in Brentwood, Tenn., the fundraiser was attended by more than 250 people, including numerous current and former Alabama and NFL players and coaches. Herndon and FUNL Music label mate Amber Hayes performed at the event, which included two auctions featuring collectible sports memorabilia and jewelry, a cigar tent, food, drinks and appearances by current Clemson coach and former Alabama receiver Dabo Swinney and legendary Alabama coach Gene Stallings, among others. Herndon’s Grammy-nominated “Journey On” project is the official song and video of the Kevin Turner Foundation.

Turner, who played professional football for eight seasons in the ‘90s with the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots, was diagnosed with ALS in May 2010. In October 2010, the Prattville, Ala., native formed the nonprofit Kevin Turner Foundation to help raise awareness and money for critical ALS research and the emerging connection between ALS and concussions. The $100,000 raised at this weekend’s event benefits the Kevin Turner Foundation.

For more information about Kevin Turner and to see the “Journey On” video, visit www.KevinTurnerFoundation.org.
