Mitchell Tenpenny has partnered with the Grand Ole Opry to raise money for the 10Penny Fund, supporting cancer patients and their families through emotional, social and mental health support.

The Oct. 6 show will donate $5 from each ticket sold to the fund. Performers include Tenpenny, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Devin Dawson, Ernest, Jackie Lee and Jo Dee Messina. Macy Page, a cancer survivor and sister-in-law to artist Thomas Rhett, will serve as a guest announcer.

A post-Opry event will be held in the Opry House’s Studio A, where Tenpenny will perform a few additional songs and take part in a Q&A hosted by WSM’s Charlie Mattos. Fans who purchase an event poster from the Opry Shop that evening will receive entry to Studio A.

“Unfortunately, I have several personal experiences with family members facing cancer diagnoses and treatment. I found a void in support for processing the overwhelming range of emotions I faced myself, as well as for witnessing family members agonize over the same thing,” shares Tenpenny. “I really wanted the foundation to be able to step in and help fill this void when possible.”

On Oct. 6, Tenpenny will launch his partnership with Cancer Support Community (CSC). Formed in 2009 through the merger of The Wellness Community and Gilda’s Club Worldwide, CSC provides emotional, social and practical support at no cost by connecting patients and their families with experienced licensed professionals.
