Recently, the Colon Cancer Alliance presented the 3rd Annual “The Stars Go Blue” for Colon Cancer Benefit featuring “Couples in Country Music” at the Country Music Hall of Fame’s Ford Theater in Nashville, TN. The event raised $36,000 for the Blue Note Fund, which provides financial support for colon cancer patients in need of assistance.

The intimate evening was hosted by Storme Warren, GAC and Sirius radio personality, along with his wife, Allison Warren and featured rare, acoustic performances by some of country music’s elite artists, songwriters and musicians Josh Turner, multi-platinum MCA recording artist and Grand Ole Opry member, with his wife and band member, Jennifer; Grammy winning singer Linda Davis with her husband singer/songwriter, Lang Scott; Paul Martin, former lead singer of Exile and currently “Apostle Paul” in Marty Stuarts Fabulous Superlatives with his wife, Jamie Martin; and Charlie Kelley, “The Stars Go Blue” creator and Grammy nominated producer/artist with his wife, GAC personality, Nan Kelley.

Jasmine Greenamyer, Vice President of the Colon Cancer Alliance, presented Charlie Kelley with their 2011 Visionary Award in honor of his work to create the Blue Note Fund. He has turned his vision of helping others struggling with colon cancer into reality through “The Stars Go Blue” benefit concert and Blue Note Fund. Kelley has been an admirable leader and fearless advocate for the cause and is a valuable member of the Colon Cancer Alliance.

The annual event was a blue ribbon success, also due, in part, to the event sponsors which included: Amgen; Genentech; AmSurg; Salix; DET Distributing Company and Miller Lite; Liberty Party Rental; NashvilleMuse.com; and Athens Distributing Company and Don Sebastiani & Sons, who showcased their new Project Paso wines.

Over the past three years, in addition to the artists listed above, friends and fellow musicians such as Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Hal Ketchum, Jamie O’Neal, Rodney Crowell, Mike Snider, Wade Hayes and others have lent their talents to “The Stars Go Blue,” helping to raise over $65,000 to date.

GAC’s Nan Kelley heads east with Chrisy Young & Craig Morgan

Posted by TawnyTucker on December 10th, 2009

Chris Young, Nan Kelley, & Craig Morgan

Head on over to GAC to read Nan Kelley’s account of her trip to the Middle East with Craig Morgan and Chris Young.  The trio headed overseas for the GAC Special Stars for Stripes Wounded Warriors Return. It sounds like a blessed trip of fellowship, music, and lots of shaking hands…touching the hearts of the three and thousands of soldiers.

I was so moved that while I was there to tell them thank you, every one of our finest kept saying to us, ’Thank you for coming all this way for us. We appreciate it so much!’ And all I could say back was, ‘If you can spend a year or more of your life out here, away from your family, putting yourself in harm’s way, I sure can spend a week of my safe, protected life trying to give back.’

Our troops really appreciated the music and the fellowship! And the music—Craig and Chris were just amazing! What great guys—the troops loved their songs. Their banter and their humor with each other was so entertaining. They did it ‘in the round’ style—which is truly unique to country music and that relaxed, warm, very funny and sincere feeling was all over it. I was so proud to be on this team as I stood there and watched every night. And though I knew these feelings would overwhelm me while I was there, what completely floored me day by day were the actions and words of the two wounded heroes we traveled with, the reception they received and the heroism they demonstrated by returning to the country that almost killed them both.

You can read Nan’s full entry here.
