Rascal Flatts donates more than $800K to Vanderbilt hospital
The $829,581 from this concert means that in 3 years, the trio has donated $2.2 million to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. The donation becomes the largest solo fund-raising event ever for the hospital for a third consecutive year, besting their 2006 donation of $817,000.
During a pre-show party, the members of Rascal Flatts - Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney - presented a check to Kevin Churchwell, the CEO of the hospital. LeVox, lead singer for the band, said that it was a community effort from the concert ticket buyers and also shared "know that when you leave this place tonight, you have made a difference in someone's life."
During the party, Rascal Flatts presented Children's Hospital with a photo collage plaque commemorating their visits to the children at the hospital over the past three years.
