W-I-R AMAZING!

wirpicThe Tumornators teamed up with nine talented country songwriters, including Grammy-winner Hillary Lindsey, on Apr. 3, 2009 at the Melting Point in Athens, Ga. to raise money for the Children's Tumor Foundation.

In her round, Lindsey played old favorites including her Grammy-winning hit, "Jesus Take the Wheel" in addition to a few of her new, uncut songs such as "Paper Heart." Joining her on stage were Jedd Hughes and Gabriel Kelley, who also shared their talent of songwriting with the nearly sold-out crowd.

Two rounds preceded the three headliners and featured Hannah Dasher, Rachel Farley, Derrick Southerland, Matt Moore and Ashley Ray.

Ticket sales and a two-item silent auction including lyrics signed by Hillary Lindsey, Carrie Underwood and Luke hilLaird and a signed picture of Dirks Bentley brought in $5500 to be donated to the cause.

"This could not have gone better!" said Chad Leathers, who founded the Tumornators along with his brother Ben.

The Tumornators continues to grow in the Athens community where the fundraising team plans to become a student organization at the University of Georgia.
