Encino, CA (July 9, 2013) – ACM Lifting Lives® announced today that the July “My Cause” web feature will spotlight Jason Sturgeon and the charity organization, Susan G. Komen. The web feature drives awareness of artist-supported charitable organizations and supports fundraising efforts for those philanthropies.
My Cause is a way for ACM Lifting Lives to tangibly demonstrate the Academy’s support of country music artists. Many people have been helped by these fantastic charities, and ACM Lifting Lives bolsters that support by increasing awareness and funding for these very deserving causes. Over the past two years, ACM Lifting Lives has donated more than $190,000 to artists’ favorite charities through this program, and will again make donations in addition to driving fan awareness.
This month, “My Cause: Susan G. Komen” highlights a foundation that has invested almost $2 billion to fulfill their promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries. They are the boldest community fueling the best science and making the biggest impact in the fight against breast cancer.
