For the second consecutive year, Ronnie Dunn has donated his time and talent to raise funds for southern Kentucky charities with the Ronnie Dunn & Friends Holiday Bash Concert held last Thursday (November 14) at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center in Bowling Green, KY.
This year, Dunn took along some of his singing pals to help him out, including Brett Eldredge and Parmalee. All proceeds raised through the Holiday Bash were donated to selected non-profit organizations that focus on children’s education and welfare, including the American Red Cross, Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Kentucky, Boys & Girls Club of Franklin-Simpson County, Boys & Girls Club of Glasgow-Barren County, Caring for China’s Orphans, Chuck’s United Hope Foundation, Greensburg Shelter House, Hope Harbor, Junior Achievement of South Central Kentucky, Kentucky Legal Aid, National Corvette Museum, Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center, The Center for Courageous Kids and United Way of Southern Kentucky.
On September 30, Dunn traveled to the area and paid special visits to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Franklin-Simpson County and Glasgow-Barren County, The Center for Courageous Kids and a local United Way program. He participated in some of the organizations’ daily activities, getting to know staff members and spending one-on-one time with kids.
“The most memorable thing was meeting the kids and a lot of the recipients and people that are involved [behind the scenes],” says Dunn. “It has to mean something, or it’s not worth doing it. It’s for me as much as for anybody else.”
Last year's Holiday Bash Concert raised $75,000 for the cause. Dunn will present the check from the Holiday Bash 2013 onDecember 6 at the National Corvette Museum.
