Jennifer Nettles Helps Start a ‘Playground’ for Kids

Sugarland lead singer Jennifer Nettles is once again showing her support for the performing arts. The singer announces the Attic Community Playground online auction, which runs through May 11 here, and benefits music education for children.

"Art programs within schools -- band, chorus, drama, art --continue to be cut," Jennifer says. "This is an extremely sad fact not only because I enjoy a career in the arts, but I enjoyed and benefited from studying the performing arts as a kid. ACP hopes to help provide students with opportunities for experiencing and studying the arts so they can develop their self-expression, emotional exploration and self-confidence."

The auction includes concert tickets and meet-and-greet passes from Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Kid Rock, Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Sugarland, pop singer Katy Perry and rocker Jon Bon Jovi.

Jennifer also performed a solo, acoustic show for the organization in January at the Murchison Performing Arts Center in Denton, Texas. Proceeds from the event went to the Ponder High School Band and Choir program in Ponder, Texas, and the music program at the Museum School of Avondale Estates, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta, Jennifer's hometown.
