ABOUT THE DICKSON COUNTY CRAIG MORGAN FOUNDATION: The
main goal of the 501c3 is to assist foster children in Dickson County
and throughout Middle Tennessee. The idea for Billy’s Place, a component
fund of the Dickson County Craig Morgan Foundation, was born while
Craig Morgan was serving as an Assistant Sheriff’s Deputy in Dickson, TN
and named for his wife Karen’s father. Craig’s continuing charitable
mission is to eventually build and maintain a home called Billy’s Place
in Dickson County Tennessee for temporarily displaced children in
Tennessee’s 23rd District (5 counties) and to provide lasting
funding for the home. The annual Craig Morgan Charity Event has raised
$250,000 the last four years in support of Billy’s Place and other
children’s welfare organizations.
