#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 inJoy 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.
