Randy helped start the Country Cares for St. Jude Kids program in 1989 after meeting legendary entertainer Danny Thomas, the founder of St. Jude. The program has raised more than $310 million in pledges for the hospital. The award was given to Randy by Thomas’ son, Tony Thomas. “Danny Thomas was such a special person,” an emotional Randy said in accepting the honor. “I didn’t have the chance to know him as well as some of you, but it shows you how a good man can inspire you in just a brief time.”
