Singing For Their Supper Telethon

"Singing For Their Supper^[1]" was a fundraiser for Food Banks across the U.S. during the pandemic that featured performances by Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum, Kristian Bush of Sugarland, Ken Block & Drew Copeland of Sister Hazel, Edwin McCain, Patrick Davis, Josh Kelley, Joe Stevenson^[2], Shawn Mullins, Chris Barron of Spin Doctors, Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Scotty McCreery^[3]. This Music TV Special aired on more than 50 television stations across the U.S. on Saturday April 18th 2020 at 7p. The program was produced in partnership with Gluestick Music^[4] and Gray stations WRDW (CBS) in Augusta, Georgia and WTOC (CBS) in Savannah, Georgia. The Television event with aired once raised more than $1,026,000 to benefit local food banks^[5]. More than 50 of Gray’s television stations aired the telethon, which featured virtual performances by country stars and singer-songwriters. The donations from viewers, performers, and Gray Television and its stations far exceeded the initial goal and will help provide more than four million meals to local residents in need.

During his live appearance on WCSC (CBS) in Charleston, South Carolina, singer Darius Rucker announced a personal $50,000 donation to Lowcountry Food Bank and offered to match up to an additional $50,000. The telethon began with a combined donation of more than $100,000 by Gray Television and its participating stations.

Customized local messages in each station’s broadcast will drive donations directly to the local station’s area food bank. Gray Television and its participating stations are collectively donating more than $100,000 for hunger relief and local COVID-19 response efforts.

“Gray is thoroughly committed to supporting the communities we serve through this unprecedented challenge,” said Bob Smith, Gray’s Chief Operating Officer. “We’re proud to present this stellar line-up of musical talent while encouraging viewers to do what they can to help relieve hunger in their hometowns.”

“Singing For Their Supper” was hosted by singer songwriter Joe Stevenson^[6].

After creation, you'll be pointed to Wikipedia:So you made a userspace draft, which has instructions on what to do next.

A userspace draft is a draft of an article (or part of an article) associated with a specific user account and stored in the user namespace. Userspace drafts are distinct from drafts located in the Draft namespace. You must create a user account to have your own userspace, and you must be logged in to use it. Explanation:

Every registered user on Wikipedia has their own "userspace" (or "userpage") – for instance, a user named "Example" has a userspace called User:Example – and User:Example/Lipsum is a page (actually a subpage) called "Lipsum" in Example's userspace.
Userspace is part of Wikipedia, and its use is governed by community rules, but it is not part of the encyclopedia. (The encyclopedia part of Wikipedia is called the "mainspace" – e.g. Lorem ipsum is a page in mainspace.)
Userspace Drafts are typically made on a "user subpage" (e.g. User:Example/Lipsum). User-specific drafts may also be located on a subpage in the Draft namespace (e.g. Draft:Example/Username).
For a list of all your drafts (and any other subpages you have), click on "Contributions" (at the very top right of any Wikipedia page, if you're logged in), then scroll to the bottom and click the "Subpages" link.
Note: every edit you make to a userspace draft is potentially visible online to anyone, even though it's in your own space. Also, your edits are 'saved' by hitting the same big, blue 'Publish changes' button you see when editing existing Wikipedia articles. Don't be confused by the term 'publish' in this context, it's not the same as actually moving a draft into the main encyclopedia for everyone to find and read. Many people consider only that element as 'publishing', whereas the reality is that everything we do here is published online, whether made in a userspace, a sandbox, a draft article, or in a main article.
As a courtesy, when you have a page in your userspace you no longer need, add {{db-userreq}} to the top of the page. It will be deleted shortly.
In an RfC regarding the applicability of Wikipedia:Notability to drafts within the userspace and draftspace, it was determined that community consensus amounted to "notability guidelines do not apply to userspace and draftspace drafts".
