Animal Haven, and the Manna House.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe youth shelter in my hometown has always been incredibly important to me and I started Big Hearts For Big Kids because I believe that everyone is worthy of love, belonging and a little help when we need it,\u201d said Townes. \u201cI grew up in a community that taught me how to look out for each other and putting on this event through the past 14 years has shown me the power of a small group of people coming together. I&#8217;m so proud of the way everyone continues to show up, gather around some music, bid on some auction items, and change the course of many kids lives because of it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This year, a portion of proceeds will benefit Nashville non-profit Room in the Inn, where Townes has been volunteering, via an auctioned trip to the 2024 CMA Fest in Nashville.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more and support Big Hearts For Big Kids, <a href=\"http:\/\/bigheartsforbigkids.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C3DgyX8uhUy\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tenille Townes recently raised over $418,000 during her 13th annual Big Hearts For Big Kids benefit.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":28001,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[430,5316,1152,95,3349,5317,67],"class_list":["post-28000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-benefit","tag-big-hearts-for-big-kids","tag-caylee-hammack","tag-dean-brody","tag-eric-paslay","tag-grande-prairie","tag-tenille-townes"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 16:31:43","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2024\/02\/country-stars-come-out-for-tenille-townes-annual-benefit\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
