The members of Lady Antebellum were very generous in 2014. Their charitable actions have earned the band Country Radio Seminar's 2015 Artist Humanitarian Award, which will be presented to them in February. The trio instituted a big one this year with the 7FOR7 project in which seven lucky fans had their wishes granted in a matter of seven days.
As Taste of Country notes, Lady A helped out multiple children's charities including the Vanderbult Children's Hospital and Children's Miracle Network. Back in November, the trio donated money to St. Jude's Children Research Hospital after recording a parody of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass."
"It is always humbling and inspiring to learn of the great work that country artists do behind the scenes to share the many blessings and gifts that come with fame and stardom," Country Radio Seminar President Charlie Morgan said. "I would argue no format has a more generous group of artists than we do, and at CRS 2015, we will pay special tribute to one of the best, Lady Antebellum, with our Artist Humanitarian Award."
Lady A will receive the award in Nashville at the end of February.
The country superstars also have the LadyAID organization that helps communities after natural disasters. It rebuilt schools in Tennessee after a flood in 2010 as well as organized a prom in Indiana after a tornado.
This past New Year's Eve, the group held it's first annual Cheers for Charity event.
"We really wanted to do something special and fun in Nashville before everyone revs up for their big New Year's Eve plans later that night," Hillary Scott said. "The opportunity to host an event here at home and play music for our Nashville friends to raise awareness for a cause we truly believe in gives us so much happiness. 'Cheers' to a great New Year's Eve in Nashville!"
