Craig Morgan and Stephen Cochran played a show at the Ryman Auditorium last night to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurological condition also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Miranda Lambert launched an online Cause for the Paws auction on eBay, according to Dial-Global, benefiting the Humane Society of East Texas. The auction includes signed items from George Strait, Alan Jackson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Martina McBride and Little Big Town. And the Tug McGraw Foundation, which includes Honorary Chairman Tim McGraw, announced it's partnered with youth baseball programs in Delaware to solicit donations for brain tumor research. Add up all those country stars, it's truly a team effort.
