TRACE ADKINS
BIG HEART for the Heartland
The American Red Cross just honored Trace Adkins with their Crystal Cross Award. The organization’s President and CEO, Gail J. McGovern said, "TRACE brings humor, honesty, hard work, and grit to everything he does. We could not ask for a better representative of the Red Cross.
Coincidentally, country music star Trace Adkins just raised more than $1.5 million for the Red Cross which was his charity of choice to receive his win on The Celebrity Apprentice.
On America’s Newsroom he told Martha MacCullum why he competed for the Red Cross. “We all know that the Red Cross is always there when huge natural disasters like this happen, but I represented the Red Cross on the Celebrity Apprentice this year because sometimes we forget that they also respond to over 70,000 house fires a year in this country.”
“Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365, there’s a Red Cross volunteer somewhere in this country selflessly helping somebody,” Adkins said.
