ACM Lifting Lives Announces Monthly Web Feature

Reba McEntire and Montgomery Gentry are some of the artists joining ACM Lifting Lives to bring awareness to different charitable organizations. At last April's Academy of Country Music Awards, ACM Lifting Lives turned the artist gift lounge into a place where the stars could give back to their favorite charity instead of receiving gifts themselves. Performers also filmed a video about their chosen charities in the lounge. Reba is supporting Oasis Center while Montgomery Gentry is backing Camp Horsin' Around. This month's theme is "Back to School," which assist kids in need, and other August artists include Jack Ingram, Darius Rucker, and Laura Bell Bundy. Their clips can be viewed and donations can be made to the charities via ACMLiftingLives.org. ACM Lifting Lives is the philanthropic arm of the Academy of Country Music.

Here are the artists and their causes for August

Laura Bell Bundy - Kreative Kids Foundation
Jack Ingram - Grounded in Music
Reba McEntire - Oasis Center
Montgomery Gentry - Camp Horsin' Around
Darius Rucker - Pattison's Academy
