Nashville,
TN (December 6, 2012) – Grammy-winning singer Randy Travis will join
host Joel McHale and an all-star cast for the Second Annual American
Giving Awards presented by Chase.  It’s set to air Saturday, December 8,
2012 on NBC at 8:00/7:00 p.m. (CT) from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium
in Pasadena, CA. Travis will serve as a musical performer during the
awards show, which is a celebrity tribute to community heroes.
 Celebrated actress Glenn Close will be honored with the AGA Leadership
Award for her philanthropic endeavors. Twenty-five grant recipients from
previous Chase Community Giving programs have been selected to
participate in the inspiring, star-studded event.  Five of the charities
will be chosen to share $2 million in grants.

“Giving back to the community is something that I support and believe
is truly important.  I am honored to be part of this year’s American
Giving Awards,” says Travis.

In 2009, Chase Community Giving was introduced as a new way of giving
by letting individuals vote online to help decide where some of Chase’s
donations go. Since the program’s inception, over $28 million has been donated to thousands of charities across the country, contributing to JPMorgan Chase’s overall giving of more than $600 million to non-profit organizations over the past five years.
