The man in red visits John Rich
On Saturday, Dec. 11, Joan and John Rich will open up their home to throw the annual Dance Marathon Holiday Party for "Miracle Families," those whose lives have been touched by Children's Hospital. The party is a celebration for the Vanderbilt students and Miracle Families, who serve as ambassadors for Vanderbilt University Dance Marathon, the largest student-run philanthropic organization at the university.
"Family is such an important part of my life, and I know that especially around the holidays, it can be difficult for families who have loved ones in the hospital," said Rich. "I admire everything the Children's Hospital does on a daily basis for those families and want to do my part in spreading the cheer this holiday season."
The party will include holiday festivities such as decorating gingerbread houses, Christmas stories, dancing and a visit from the Clauses.
Joan and John Rich will match the top student fundraiser's total, up to $10,000.

Unless you run in conservative circles like Rich, some of his ideas may surprise you. Most artists – even the country ones – ...
You have to question John Rich's motives when he opens a CD titled "Rich Rocks" with a track titled Country Done Come To Town. What is he: A rocker or a country boy? Well, it turns out, like most popular country stars these days, he's a little of both. (Oh, and he also thinks he's a little rap, too).
Texas features Cowboy Troy, a longtime friend of Big & Rich. The song is not really rap, however, as it mostly speaks about how you take the boy out of Texas, but ...
A better title for this six-song John Rich album is "For Parents of Kids" because these tracks aren't really directed at kid listeners. There are no tunes about animals or toys. Rich never sings in a silly voice. Heck, he doesn't even tell a corny joke.
