June 12, 2008 — After a long and sweaty CMA Music Festival, Little Big Town rode out the final day of the event on Sunday with the Ride For A Cure to benefit the T.J. Martell Foundation. The Ride, which brought out a huge number of their fellow artists, raised a tidy $35,000 for the organization, which funds research for cancer, leukemia and AIDS.
"Everyone seemed to have a great time, and we were so pleased to see such wonderful support from the many sponsors, participants, artists and fans that came to help us raise vital dollars for research," said Little Big Town’s Kimberly Schlapman. "Ride For A Cure was a great way for us to end CMA Music Fest week by giving back to such a wonderful cause."
Temperatures in humid Music City were over 95 degrees, but that didn’t stop Darryl Worley, Lonestar, Jennifer Hanson, Gary Chapman, Chuck Wicks, Ira Dean, Bluefield, Ray Scott, Jamey Johnson, the Roys and GAC’s Storme Warren, among others, from making the 25-mile trip from the Harley-Davidson outlet in Franklin to Columbia, Tenn., where they met up with fans, had barbecue and did a little jam session.
In addition, the T.J. Martell Foundation presented a plaque to Little Big Town. The band is playing a lengthy series of fair dates this summer before hitting the road in the fall with Carrie Underwood. They plan to release "Fine Line" as their next single from the album A Place To Land.
