Montgomery Gentry, the multi-platinum super duo, joined several other musical acts Thursday night in raising $100,000 for the T.J. Martell Foundation during the 14th Annual Country in the Rockies in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.Among the other major fundraisers: Brad Arnold and Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down raised $3,000 for a two-song acoustic performance; Darryl Worley and Lari White sang for generous donors; and Bill McCorvey of the Pirates of the Mississippi brought in more cash by performing the duo's hit, “Feed Jake."
Other stars generously donated auction items to benefit the foundation. Eddie Montgomery donated three of his trademark black hats, Hank Williams Jr. provided a Gibson guitar embossed with the Monday Night Football logo -- and Charlie Daniels donated a fiddle that fetched a $2,000 bid.
The T.J. Martell Foundation supports innovative research for leukemia, cancer and AIDS. In Nashville, the Foundation supports cancer research at the Frances Williams Preston Labs at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
