Four-time Grammy Award winner and American Idol judge Keith Urban is the first to join the #ArtistToArtist effort. He recently called the show to accept the invitation – click here to listen to the audio, and click here to bid on Urban’s self-portrait.  Bidding will close next Thursday, July 30, and all proceeds will benefit St. Jude.

  

Urban praised the work of St. Jude, “Everything that they learn and discover, everything they acquire there knowledge wise, is shared all around the world.  It’s an extraordinary hospital, so that’s why the Country music community, radio, the artists, everybody, for a long, long, long time, have always been behind St. Jude.”

 

“We love helping St. Jude as much as possible, so we’re asking some of the great artists in Country music to have a little fun with painting and help raise money for a great cause,” shared Bones and co-host Amy.  “Thanks to Keith Urban for kicking off the campaign!”

 

The Bobby Bones Show raised over $1.5 million dollars for St. Jude last year through on-air fundraisers, radiothons and charity concerts. In addition, Bones’ comedy band The Raging Idiots has performed and visited with patients at the hospital in Memphis, Tenn.   

 

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life- threatening diseases. St. Jude has the world’s best survival rates for the most aggressive childhood cancers, and treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since we opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent in the next decade. St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs we make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Join the St. Jude mission by visiting stjude.org or following St. Jude on facebook.com/stjude and twitter.com/stjude.
