ChildFund
Partners With Platinum-Selling Recording Artist Carman to Promote Child
Sponsorship
Richmond,
Va. –
May 29, 2014 – Platinum-selling recording artist Carman is partnering with
ChildFund International to raise awareness about child sponsorship on his
"No Plan B Tour,” launching today in Tallahassee, Florida.
The popular
Christian singer, responsible for selling more than 10 million records
worldwide since 1980, will educate attendees about ChildFund’s work in 30
countries.
"I am
excited to be partnering with ChildFund International on this tour as they work
to help children around the world," said Carman.
The 70-plus-date
tour runs from May to November. Concertgoers will be able to enjoy music from
Carman’s latest studio album while also learning about how they can help
children and families living in poverty by sponsoring through ChildFund.
This is
Carman’s first tour in 14 years. His previous concerts have been attended by
approximately 4.5 million fans.
“Carman is a
legend in the Christian music industry,” says Jeffrey Miller, ChildFund’s
senior LIVE! manager. “It’s exciting to have him back on the road touring, and
a tremendous honor that he has chosen to be an advocate for the vulnerable
children and families ChildFund serves across the globe.”
ChildFund is
also looking for volunteers to help at events. For more information, please visit
