Little Big Town’s 6th Annual Ride For a Cure took place over the weekend on Sunday, June 10 in Franklin and Columbia, TN. Due to inclement weather, the motorcycle ride portion of the event was cancelled but the jam sessions at Mickey Roo’s and the Harley Davidson Columbia Superstore went on as planned.

The event raised over $55,000 for the T. J. Martell Foundation and its mission of finding cures for Leukemia, Cancer and AIDS. Since its inception, the popular event has raised more than $310,000 for the cause.

One of the most sought-after auction items from the event was an autographed Epiphone Guitar signed by Little Big Town, Rascal Flatts, and Edens Edge. The winning bid went to none other than Mike Wolfe, co-host of The History Channel’s American Pickers.
