JASON ALDEAN TO HOLD EIGHTH ANNUAL SUSAN G. KOMEN BENEFIT, “CONCERT FOR THE CURE,” OCT. 25 IN NEW ORLEANS
Aldean’s 12th No. One Single Holds For A Second Week At The Top
Nashville,
TN – October 4, 2013 – CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee Jason Aldean
kicks off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the announcement
that his eighth annual “Concert for the Cure” will be held Fri., Oct. 25
in New Orleans, LA at his sold out 2013 NIGHT TRAIN TOUR stop at the
New Orleans Arena. Throughout the year, Aldean sets aside 50 cents of
each concert ticket sold, then selects one show market in October and
donates all proceeds to their local Susan G. Komen Affiliate.
“Last year the Komen New Orleans team needed a little over $1 million to
meet all their needs, but they were only able to fund about half of
that,” said Aldean. “If we raise the half a million that we did last
year in Dallas we’ll be able to help these women meet their goal and
provide the services the town needs. I can’t wait to see an arena full
of pink in support of such a great cause!”
Aldean is currently celebrating a second week atop the Billboard chart
with his 12th No. one single, “Night Train.” Additionally, has three
nominations for the Nov. 6 CMA Awards, including his third consecutive
Entertainer of the Year nod. He is also up for Male Vocalist of the
Year and Musical Event of the Year for “The Only Way I Know” feat. Luke
Bryan and Eric Church.
