10th Annual Charlie Daniels Patriot Awards Dinner to Honor Veterans and First Responders
The Charlie Daniels Patriot Awards Dinner, a program of The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project, will be held on September 11, 2024, at City Winery Nashville. Tickets are available now.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the program, which was co-founded by Country Music legend, Charlie Daniels, and his longtime manager, David Corlew. Although Daniels passed away in 2020, his musical legacy lives on, and his devotion to veterans’ causes continues through the dedication of Corlew.
Through fundraising events, the organization supports the efforts of other not-for-profit organizations providing services to U.S. veterans and first responders. TCHJHP has raised more than $4 million for these organizations.
“It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years since Charlie and I began this journey to set up our foundation in support of military and veterans,” says Corlew. “Charlie remains with us in spirit, as it was his dedication and love for our troops that got all of this started. Now, in 2024, we continue our commitment to support veterans in Charlie’s honor.”
Criteria for the Charlie Daniels Patriot Awards
The criteria for the Charlie Daniels Patriot Awards is based on the mission of The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project: to support veterans in their return, rehabilitation, and reintegration back into civilian life.
