Mitchell Tenpenny’s 10Penny Fund and ACM Lifting Lives are joining forces to bring support to music industry members impacted by cancer.
The 10Penny Fund will make a $100,000 contribution to assist in 10 grants of $10,000 to individuals who require help covering essential medical bills, everyday household needs, and mental health support through ACM Lifting Lives’ Diane Holcomb Emergency Relief Fund. Those in need can go to acmliftinglives.org or email liftinglives@acmcountry.com to seek help and find additional information.
Tenpenny will also host his Cornhole Tournament for the fourth consecutive year on Oct. 7 on Music Row, with all proceeds going to ACM Lifting Lives to amplify the impact of support to country music professionals affected by cancer. Those wishing to participate can sign up here to play, and organizations can sponsor a board. For more information on the tournament or if you want to support, email kristen@redlightmanagement.com and Allie.vidunas@
“I have been too close to cancer too often,” says Tenpenny. “I lost my dad in 2014 and my mom battled breast cancer a few years ago. Through their illnesses, I discovered how important mental health support was and how, along with good doctors and treatment plans, that factored into their cancer journey.”
“Too many of us know the gravity of a cancer diagnosis, and often, the toll it takes on the mental health of both the patient and their loved ones goes unseen,” adds Taylor Wolf, Executive Director of ACM Lifting Lives. “Mitchell Tenpenny is helping rewrite this narrative with his commitment and generosity to supporting those navigating cancer journeys. His care for others embodies the heart of the Diane Holcomb Emergency Relief Fund and we are grateful that Mitchell’s generosity will ensure a few more families don’t have to worry about the financial burden as they go through treatment.”
Mitchell created his 10Penny Fund in 2018 from his personal experience and a sincere desire to provide inspirational support to cancer patients beyond the traditional medical treatment. The 10Penny Fund invests in sustainable and meaningful programs that motivate patients, encouraging healing, and build a community of support.
