Bobby Bones Inspires Garth Brooks to Donate Box Set Proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
“After talking with Bobby on the show last week, I was stunned when I heard just how much money the show had raised in one day,” said Brooks.
Just days ago, Bobby Bones and the cast of the nationally syndicated The Bobby Bones Show participated in a St. Jude Radiothon and within 24 hours, the team raised $1.3 million for the research hospital.
During the lengthy broadcast for a good cause, Bones featured many of country music’s best and brightest acts, including the legendary Garth Brooks. After hearing about how much money the morning show had raised in just a single days’ time, Brooks was inspired to do his part and will now donate $20 from the sale of every copy sold of his new box set Garth Brooks – The Ultimate Collection now through December 25.
“Just when I thought the Radiothon couldn’t exceed any more expectations, this happens,” expressed Bones. “I half-jokingly suggested that Garth sign up to donate $20 a month during the broadcast, but I never expected him to go above and beyond like this. St Jude is a really important cause for so many people, and it’s very humbling that we’re able to help inspire these acts of kindness.”
“After talking with Bobby on the show last week, I was stunned when I heard just how much money the show had raised in one day,” added Brooks. “It really motivated me to get involved and see how I could try and help such an amazing cause. Hats off to Bobby and his team for putting together an inspirational broadcast that is really making a difference to a lot of people’s lives.”
The box set is sold exclusively at Target stores or on target.com for $29.99. The collection includes 10 discs, including Brooks’ new album Gunslinger and an updated version of his smash hit, “Friends in Low Places.”
