BENTLEY’S “MILES & MUSIC FOR KIDS” RAISES RECORD-BREAKING $307,000
FOR MONROE CARELL JR. CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AT VANDERBILT
Event Tallies Eight-Year Total of Over $2.5 Million for
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Across the Country
Nashville,
TN – Nov. 4, 2013 – Award-winning singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley’s
“Miles & Music For Kids” hosted its biggest crowd to date yesterday
in Nashville, TN. Thousands of bikers road into downtown where fans
joined Bentley for the post-ride concert to help make the event’s
biggest donation to date of over $307,000 to Monroe Carell Jr.
Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.
“Every
year, the support from the fans for these events catches me off-guard,”
said Bentley. “I shouldn’t be surprised because the country music
community is the first to open their wallets to help out, but this year
they were lined up before the sun was even up. I have my buddies Luke
Bryan, Jake Owen, Easton Corbin, Brett Eldredge, Chase Rice and Storme
Warren to thank for spending their Sunday afternoon with us and making
it the best year yet!”
The
celebrity motorcycle ride and concert has visited seven cities across
the US, and over the event’s eight-year history has raised more than
$2.5 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across the
country.
