John Rich to Host 2011 ThanksUSA Benefit Concert

Reigning 'Celebrity Apprentice' winner John Rich, who raised more than $1 million for St. Jude Children's Research hospital during his time on the show, continues his goodwill mission by signing on as host for the 2011 ThanksUSA's 2011 Benefit Concert. The event will celebrate the dedication and sacrifice made by military families across the country.

"I'm excited to host ThanksUSA's celebration of military families this year, and I'm happy to be supporting such a tremendous cause," John says. "It's important to remember every day, every month, every year the sacrifices made by so many of our fellow Americans who serve in our armed forces, as well as the loved ones of those who serve."

Established in 2005, ThanksUSA has created an initiative to raise money for need-based college, technical and vocational school scholarships for the families of active-duty service members. The non-profit relies on federal funding, corporate donations and individual contributions to achieve their mission.

Also performing will be Nashville-based singer-songwriters Leslie Satcher, Lucas Hoge and Monty Holmes, as well as fiddler Andy Leftwich. NBC4 Washington's Jim Handly will serve as the concert's master of ceremonies.

The 2011 ThanksUSA 2011 Benefit Concert will be hold Nov. 14 at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. Click here to learn more about the charitable organization.
