From his Dove Award-winning gospel albums to his genre-defining southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor and a true road warrior, Daniels parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a spotlight supporting the military, underprivileged children and others in need.

STEVEN TYLER’S JANIE’S FUND Janie’s Fund is a philanthropic initiative created by Steven Tyler in partnership with Youth Villages to bring hope and healing to girls who have suffered the trauma of abuse and neglect. Steven first gave voice to this cause with his hit “Janie’s Got a Gun,” and his establishment of the fund ensures that these vulnerable girls will have an enduring voice for years to come. Janie’s Fund has two important goals: to bring much-needed awareness to the issue of abuse and neglect of children and to generate financial support to ensure that girls receive the most effective services available to help them overcome the trauma and pain of abuse. Contributions to Janie’s Fund support proven programs at Youth Villages that have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing the trauma of sexual abuse in children and the expansion of these services to help even more girls. Learn more at www.JaniesFund.org. All donations to Janie’s Fund will be used to: Support proven programs that have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing the trauma of sexual abuse in children and to expand these services to help even more girls. These services incorporate the latest research on developing brains and neuropsychology. Further expand experiential therapies throughout Youth Villages’ five campuses, which help breakthrough treatment barriers when traditional therapies have not been as effective. These experiential therapies include West African therapeutic drumming, art therapy, music therapy and recreational therapy. Finally, funds will also be targeted to help girls by providing the critical “extended care” many of them need as they age out of foster care at 18 and transition to adulthood with little family support.
