iHeart Media’s Bobby Bones donated a check to the MusiCares’ Nashville chapter last week for $32,000. Bones helped raise the money through his show and TheShopForward.com by dedicating all proceeds from the sale of #PIMPINJOY apparel in September to the organization.
#PIMPINJOY was created by Bones’ show to encourage and celebrate people going through a rough time who choose to still spread joy during their daily lives. It was launched in honor of Bones’ show co-host Amy and her mom Judy, who lost her battle with cancer but was an inspiration during the struggle.
