Wanna Dunk An Exec, Critic, or Charlie Monk?

Well, now’s your chance. Because several good sports—many of them from MusicRow’s In Charge list—will be sitting in the dunking booth at the Country Cares party on Thurs., Aug. 20. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® will host a street party from 5-8 PM at Roy Acuff Place as a thank-you to the music industry for twenty years of support of its very successful Country Cares for St. Jude Kids program. Festivities will include burgers, beverages, music and games. The party, hosted by the St. Jude Country Cares Advisory Board, is open to the music industry. Country Cares program founder Randy Owen and ALSAC/St. Jude COO Dave McKee will be on hand to greet guests.
