Charlie Daniels receives T.J. Martell honor

Monday, October 13, 2008 – Charlie Daniels received the T.J. Martell Foundation's Artist Appreciation Award last week during a golf tournament hosted by Daniels. The tournament benefits the T.J. Martell Foundation, an organization that supports innovative research for leukemia, cancer and AIDS.

Daniels, a long-time supporter of the T.J. Martell Foundation, received the Artist Appreciation Award for his service to the organization and for assisting in the foundation's fund-raising mission through the years. "Charlie Daniels has been such a wonderful asset to our foundation and truly is a leader in helping to make a difference in the lives of others," said the Martell Foundation's Nashville Board President Tony Conway. "Charlie has been with us since the beginning and continues to spread the word about our goal of funding the science that will one day lead to a control/cure for these devastating diseases."

The Artist Appreciation Award is presented to performers and celebrities who are dedicated to the Foundation and assist in raising funds as well as educating others about the foundation's mission.

The golf tournament raised more than $32,000. Daniels spent the day driving the golf course and meeting each of the players. "I am honored to receive such a nice award from the Martell Foundation," said Daniels. "It means so much to be involved with a great cause and to give back to others. I am happy to help in any way I can."

The Martell Foundation funds research at eight research hospitals in the U.S.

CD review - A Bluegrass Christmas Charlie Daniels has recorded what he calls a bluegrass Christmas CD, although he isn't so exclusive that there are only bluegrass folks helping him out.

CD review - Preachin', Prayin', Singin' DVD Charlie Daniels has his Southern rock personality (exemplified by The Devil Went Down To Georgia) and he also has his spiritual side (as he's known to join Billy Graham crusades now and again). But when the fiddler/guitarist first arrived in Nashville, he befriended folks like banjo great, Earl Scruggs, and his two sons, Gary and Randy. These three players appear with Daniels during this mainly bluegrass set, along with Del McCoury, The Whites and Mac Wiseman. Bluegrass gospel songs make up ...
