Kenny Joins PLAN!T NOW Board

Kenny Chesney has been named to the board of directors for PLAN!T NOW, a nonprofit relief organization.

Formerly known as the Grenada Relief Fund, PLAN!T NOW provides people and companies in high-risk regions the information they need to protect their families, homes and businesses from the effects of storm and hurricane-related disasters. The organization offers assistance for coastal and island areas that lie between Belize and Barbados, and Trinidad and North Carolina. “Having grown up in Tennessee, I was deeply affected by Hurricane Katrina and the stories of both hope and despair that followed,” Kenny says. “When PLAN!T NOW approached me about working with at-risk communities, I knew in my heart this was something I wanted to do.”
