Tears, Talent, and a Touching Tribute: Country Stars Unite for St. Jude’s
Grab the tissues, because this heartwarming project is sure to hit you right in the feels! Angels Among Us—originally released as a country Christmas tune by Alabama—has found new life, and we are absolutely here for it!
In 2017, Radio Disney and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital teamed up for a truly special cause: raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer. And how did they do it? By bringing together some of the biggest names in country music for a fresh take on this beloved song. Carly Pearce, Hunter Hayes, Scotty McCreery, Lucy Hale, Sara Evans, and several other country stars joined forces to record a stunning new version, giving the song a whole new level of recognition.
But what makes this project even more touching is the incredible experience St. Jude provided for the children battling illness. Not only did they get to witness the recording process up close, but their dream came true as they spent the day with the artists, listening in through headphones and experimenting with audio equipment. Talk about an unforgettable VIP pass!
For decades, St. Jude has been on a mission to end pediatric cancer, increasing survival rates from a mere 20% to over 80% since its founding. And with the support of generous donors, talented musicians, and powerhouse organizations like Disney, they continue to make groundbreaking progress.
And here’s where it gets even better—Radio Disney didn’t just air this beautiful new version of Angels Among Us, they also used it as a rallying cry, urging listeners to support children battling cancer. The response? Absolutely incredible! Thanks to the overwhelming love for the song, Disney was able to donate a whopping $25,000 to St. Jude. Now that’s the power of music!
From the heartfelt performances to the life-changing impact, this collaboration proves just how much magic happens when we come together for a cause. Want to be part of the movement?
