Multi-platinum singers from George Strait and Brad Paisley to Grammy nominee Kelsea Ballerini joined together with TV stars from the show \"Nashville\" and more on Monday (27 FEB. 2017) at the Nashville Honors Gala benefiting the T.J. Martell Foundation.  Proceeds benefited leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. People could donate on hundreds of items and watch performances by musicians. Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie Daniels said he is a cancer survivor, thanks to his doctor, Dr. Joseph Smith, who was also receiving an award that night. \"About 15 years ago, I think that he - Dr. Smith - treated me for cancer and I have been cancer-free that whole time, so yes it's very special to me.  Very special,\" said the 80-year-old.Kelsea Ballerini, who is nominated for two awards at the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards in April, said she met a teenage cancer patient who was very inspiring to her.\"I went to St. Jude for the first time a couple of years ago and I met a girl named Ali, who was 16 at the time and was battling cancer and just fell in love with her story and the way that she was just so positive and I don't know, I just...  I fell in love with her, and so I think she's probably the closest person to me that has been through that,\" Ballerini said.  \"And so kind of everything that I do now that involves that, I kind of think of her and that's what makes me do it.\"Olympic gold medal skater Scott Hamilton has battled cancer a few times over his life, including brain tumors and testicular cancer.  His foundation is opening a new proton therapy treatment center in Tennessee for cancer patients. \"So our platform at the Scott Hamilton Cares Foundation is we really want to advance treatment options that treat the cancer and spare the patient,\" Hamilton said.  \"So proton therapy is huge and immuno-therapies and targeted therapies are fantastic.  So that's what we're all about.\"Actor Charles Esten was the host of the event, but many of fans of the TV show \"Nashville\" were recently surprised by the sudden death of character Rayna James, portrayed by actress Connie Britton.  Esten said Britton's departure from the show was a difficult episode for him. \"We all get that it's a fictional character, but sometimes fictional characters for all of us find their way into your hearts and their way into your lives.  Rayna James was one of those, so for a lot of people it's been very difficult, and we get that,\" said Esten.  \"As difficult as it was for any of them, or was for them, believe me it was the same way for us.  Shooting this last episode - that was the most difficult episode I have ever done, most difficult scenes I have done of anything ever.\"Esten's daughter is also a survivor of leukemia and he said he believes that these fundraisers are key to saving lives. \"My wife and I have a daughter who when she was 2 and half was diagnosed with leukemia - Addie.  And Addie is extremely happy, healthy, very strong girl right now; in her junior year of high school; incredible soccer player.  We know that came, yes from prayer, but also people before us that had done research and that research was sponsored by people that did events like this, that raised money. Any way I can be a part of that, I am always happy to.  And that doesn't even begin to touch on the type of nights these are with the incredible people that are here to honor the people that we are honoring.\"Nashville, Tenn. 27 February 20171.

The ACMs are amazing and I have been twice now: one in Dallas and then one last year in Vegas, and I got to win new female last year.  And I just remember getting the award. They did it at the Party for a Cause, the night before, and I just remember getting the award and thinking that I would have it under control because I knew what was happening and all that, and I just lost it.  Like, 'cause it was just one of those moments where I don't know, like, it's a dream that, like, happens in that one moment.  And my mom was side stage and my whole team was side stage and I just remember, like, running off and just grabbing them and hugging them.  And that moment, like, that's a moment that the ACMs gave me.  And so I am appreciative of them and I love the ACMs and I am excited to go back.\"10.
