Lady Antebellum announces global charity initiative called "Lady Aid" that will benefit 5 different children's charities.

The  Grammy award winning country group is known world wide for their hit songs.

Monday
the group announced it is hoping to use the name established in the
music industry to bring good to children from Nashville to Haiti, with a
new philanthropic effort cleverly titled LadyAid.

We don't feel
like stars but recognize we have a platform and want to speak up and
have an organization that will wave the flag for kids" says Dave
Haywood.

Lady aid is a multi-level organization that will benefit five different children driven organizations.

In Tennessee - the money raised will help Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and St. Jude.
   
On a national level they will support Children's Miracle Network and on
a global level the UN Refugee Agency and My Life Speaks, an
organization Hillary has been involved with for some time now, visiting
Haiti several times each year.

"So many charities in the world,
to finally feel we are all collectively have one goal and agree and know
we can make a difference, feels pretty good" says Charles Kelley.

   
LadyAid will be funded by several different fundraising efforts
including a one of a kind event called "Ping Pong and Songs".
    Just like the name sounds there will be ping pong and music, but that's just about all they know.
    The group says right now it  is just having fun being in the brainstorming stage!!

]"This
is the beginning of something that wil grow and build. Who knows how
many events we will end up doing" says Hillary Scott.  

    Hilary, Charles and Dave each have platforms that are important to them, but the one thing they all agreed on was kids.

"It's
not a hard sell, helping kids is something everyone wants to do.
Individually we can do all these things but when it's under Lady A we
can raise so much more money" says Charles.
