#PimpinJoy is a movement created by The Bobby Bones Show to celebrate people who may be going through a rough time, but choose to spread joy in their daily lives. It was first launched to honor co-host Amy and her mother Judy, who had been battling Cancer for years.  Throughout their struggle, both women made a conscious effort to not let hardship or difficulty cause them to lose hope or positivity in their lives - instead, they choose to be happy, pass on joy, and influence others to do the same.  Growing rapidly and garnering national attention, the movement spurred the launch of a #PimpinJoy clothing line, which supports various charities, and an annual week-long celebration known as Joy Week. Luke Bryan, Garth Brooks, Jake Owen, Keith Urban, Darius Rucker and Sam Hunt are just a few of the major country stars who have participated in Joy Week by performing live on the show. Since the #PimpinJoy movement was launched in 2014, more than a million dollars has been raised to support many worthy causes.

Broadcasting live from Nashville, iHeartMedia's The Bobby Bones Show reaches millions of listeners on more than 100 stations, including markets such as Washington, D.C., Boston, MA, and Miami, FL.  The award-winning program is also heard nationally via iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia's free all-in-one streaming music and live radio service digital service. Airing weekday mornings from 5 to 10 a.m. CT, hosts Bobby Bones, Lunchbox and Amy welcome the biggest names in Country music and entertain listeners with their unique mix of pop-culture news and information, crazy stunts and hilarious conversations.  For his work on the program, Bones will be the youngest-ever National Radio Hall of Fame inductee this November, and he’s been dubbed “the most powerful man in country music” by Forbes.
