Carrie Underwood Donates Musical Instruments
Carrie Underwood surprised the students of Checotah High School in Checotah, Oklahoma last Friday when the American Idol alum donated over $117,000 worth in new music instruments. The donation was a joint gift from the 26-year old singer’s CATS Foundation (Checotah Animal, Town and Schools) and ACM (Academy of Country Music) Lifting Lives. Carrie said “I am so proud to have come from such a wonderful community that helped shape me as a person. And I can think of nothing better than to share the gift of music with the students in my hometown. It’s so great to be able to give back in a way that can truly better the lives of these kids and help create dreams and opportunities.”
