A mission to save lives
Afterwards, country star Darryl Worley will play live at a free-entry public reception at Sammy B’s Restaurant, which is located inside the Castle Heights Military Academy. The partnership between the
Shepherd’s Men started when Daniels worked with the latter group on annual fundraisers to benefit veterans.
TCDJHP co-founder and Daniels’ longtime manager David Corlew says: “Veteran suicides were a critical concern to Charlie, and just a few weeks before he passed we agreed that this issue should become a major priority within our overall mission. He believed so much in the Shepherd’s Men’s work, so this is an epic way of honoring Charlie and continuing his mission of saving lives.”
