Kenny Chesney Spreads the Love with a Fund for Boston
11 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Kenny Chesney Spreads the Love with a Fund for Boston
Kenny Chesney has long combined his chart-topping success with humanitarian efforts. The singer has now teamed with Boston Medical Center in establishing the Spread the Love Fund.
The new fund will help pay for post-acute care for victims of traumatic injuries from the Boston Marathon bombings at BMC or other Boston hospitals. Chesney started things off with a substantial donation himself and will also be donating all proceeds from the downloaded iTunes single sales of ‘Spread the Love,’ his track co-written and produced by the Wailers.
“It’s hard to imagine a world where taking your children to school, going to the movies or witnessing something as iconic as the Boston Marathon is a dangerous thing to do,” Chesney says. “For me, I want to help give these people as much of their lives back as possible, but I’d also like to counteract some of the negativity in the world… Remind people that there are more good people out there, and it’s up to us to ‘Spread the Love.”
