Kane Brown has consistently shown support for underprivileged and at-risk youth by being involved with organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs of America since the beginning of his career as a country artist. This dedication to helping those in need has recently earned him a significant award.
Currently, the country music industry is recognizing the "I Can Feel It" singer's dedication to supporting children and focusing on other charitable activities.
Brown has been chosen as the winner of the 2024 CRS Artist Humanitarian Award, a yearly recognition given to artists who prioritize giving back as a significant aspect of their professional lives.
He will be celebrated at the CRS Honors event on February 29th in Nashville as a part of the Country Radio Seminar for this year.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America aims to create a supportive environment for children from all backgrounds, particularly those facing economic challenges. Brown, who faced homelessness, racism, and abuse during his childhood, expressed a desire for the type of safe space that the organization strives to offer young people.
Aside from giving money, such as funding a gym renovation in northeast Ohio in 2022, Brown has also directly offered experiences for children. He gave tickets and backstage access to 16 kids and 4 adults from a local group, treating them to dinner and sharing his personal story. Additionally, he has been involved in rebuilding a chapter in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The country singer's efforts with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America have been recognized in the past. In 2022, he was awarded the title of "Champion of Youth" by the organization.
Past recipients of the CRS Artist Humanitarian Award include Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and several others. Tracy Lawrence was the recipient of the award last year.
