Scotty McCreery
You and your wife, Gabi, are going
on a double date with some pretty
lucky fans. The social networking app
Bumble recruited you two for the
Country Couple for a Cause campaign.
Have they selected a winner?
No, not yet. I think they’re still getting
their entries in, but we’re excited about
it. It’s definitely something that’s a little
different for us, but exciting to get the
chance to go meet some fans and spend
a little time with them and if they have
some questions for us we’re happy to just
get out there and hang out. So, it should
be a pretty good time
with them.
And this double date is an effort to
raise money for the charity of your
choice, St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital?
McCreery’s performance is preceded by
the Spirit on Mountain Street festival. This
is the third consecutive year the food and
community festival has culminated with a
concert presented by the SGA.
Spirit on Mountain Street featuring
JamFest is scheduled from 6:00 - 8:00
pm on August 22. The festival is free
to attend. Tickets will be available for
purchase to sample cuisine from up to 40
area restaurants. All proceeds benefit the
community food bank at the Jacksonville
Christian Outreach Center.

We’re definitely donating 25K over to St
Jude’s. It’s an organization that’s near and
dear to our hearts. My wife is a pediatric
nurse over at Duke hospital so what
they’re doing over there at St Jude’s, it’s
really incredible work so I’m glad we can
help out. Kitty Stone Singers

It’s definitely one of those organizations
that if these opportunities come up that
we have the chance to donate we try to
keep them in mind. We got the chance to
be on celebrity Family Feud last year, and
we won it. So we ended up donating the
winnings to St Jude as well. It’s just a place
that we love what they do. 7:05 JSU Steel Band
