Carrie Underwood Raises Over $100,000 For Charity At Easter Livestream Concert

Seven-time GRAMMY Award winning superstar Carrie Underwood has raised over $100,000 in donations for Save The Children from her livestream concert My Savior: Live From The Ryman, which was streamed globally on Easter Sunday from her Facebook page.

The concert, which featured hymns covered on her newest album My Savior, is available to watch for 48 hours.

Underwood shared about the events: “It means so much to be able to bring this event to people in their homes on a day that holds so much meaning for us spiritually and to be able to raise much needed funds and awareness for the incredible work of Save the Children as we celebrate the importance of family.”

“This is an album I have always wanted to record and I’m thrilled to be able to bring these uplifting, inspirational songs to life in this special way,” says Underwood. “When I set out to choose these songs, I wanted to include the beautiful, familiar hymns I grew up singing in church. There are several songs I have performed in the past, like ‘Softly And Tenderly,’ ‘How Great Thou Art’ and ‘Amazing Grace’ that mean so much to me and I knew immediately we needed to record for the album. This music shaped who I am as a person and is the foundation of my career as a recording artist. I feel so blessed to get to share these songs with generations of people who love them as I do, as well as others who might be experiencing them for the first time.”

Underwood was joined by CeCe Winans, Buddy Greene, and Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE.
