Dierks Bentley, Joe Nichols, Josh Thompson, Uncle Kracker and Miss Willie Brown will get their motors running on May 22 for Dierks' annual Miles and Music for Kids motorcycle ride and concert.
During its five-year history, the events surrounding Dierks' philanthropy have raised more than $1.5 million for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This year's proceeds will be donated to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
"These families who have children in the hospital, they need to only have to worry about their child getting well, not where the next money is coming from," Dierks told The Boot.
The ride will depart from the AD Farrow Co. Harley-Davidson Dealership (7754 St. Rt. 37 E., Sunbury, Ohio 43074) for the hour and a half long ride that ends at the LC Pavilion (405 Neil Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43215) for the concert portion of the event featuring Dierks and his special musical guests.
Trent Tomlinson will return to his hometown of Kennett, Missouri Tuesday, May 24 to perform an exclusive benefit concert for the Delta Children’s Home.
Tomlinson will be joined by fellow recording artists Uncle Kracker and Keith Anderson.
“Last year’s concert was an incredible success,” says Tomlinson. “I’m so grateful to Uncle Kracker and Keith Anderson for their involvement this year. The Delta Children’s Home has been going strong since 1963 and has benefited thousands of children throughout the region. With the current economic conditions, every little bit helps, so we’ve committed to donating 100% of the concert proceeds to the organization. You can bet we’ll continue this tradition for years to come.”
The Delta Children’s Home has been changing the lives of children in southeast Missouri for more than 40 years. When kids have nowhere else to turn, the Delta Children’s Home provides not only a roof over their heads, but a strong foundation on which to build new lives.
