Wednesday (9/13) saw the Country community rallying for the kids of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital with Country Cares for St. Jude Kids at the historic Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville.

As September is Chidren's Cancer Awareness Month, supporters are encouraged to make contributions to St. Jude's as a means to end childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Every year Country Music Cares does this with over 1k industry-ites gathering to support the cause.

This year featured performances from Country Music Hall of Famer Randy Owen of Alabama, four-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan, Clare Bowen and Charles Esten of CMT's Nashville. Videos and photos of special moments from Country Music Cares were shared throughout and in between performances. Additionally; special guest and presenter Kael presented Owen with a gift thanking him for over 28 years of work with Country Music Cares for St. Jude Kids.
