Friday All American Morning News with Eric Scott
12/21/2012 (Courtesy TheBoot.com) — Good Morning! Jake Owen is in the giving spirit this holiday season. The country star’s annual show in his hometown of Vero Beach, Fla., last weekend raised $125,000 for various children’s charities. The sold-out show was the last stop on his CMT on Tour Jake Owen: The Summer Never Ends 2012 trek.
All of the concert’s proceeds will go to the Jake Owen Foundation, which supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and youth organizations in Indian River County, Fla., including Autism Speaks and the Mardy Fish Foundation. Jake has been a longtime supporter of St. Jude’s, also donating money from his many StageIt shows to the children’s hospital.
