Stacy Brown, President and Co-Founder of the Chicken Salad Chick Foundation, who lost her husband Kevin Brown (Co-Founder
of Chicken Salad Chick) to cancer last November, noted “Music &
Miracles Superfest was Kevin’s dream. While in the midst of his battle
against cancer, Kevin chose not to ask ‘why me?’ but rather ‘why not?!’ Kevin asked boldly, ‘Why not start a Foundation? Why not have a concert at Jordan-Hare Stadium? Why not ask Kenny Chesney to play it? And why not
try and raise a million dollars in a single day to give to those who
are in need?’ Kevin will have the best seat in the house to watch this
dream come true on April 23.”
