(Photo credit: Lyric Street Records)Bucky Covington celebrated a sweet scholastic victory on CMT's Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader, where he raised $25,000 for the Arthritis Foundation--but his work for the Foundation doesn't stop there. His Twitter has been updated today with the news that he's going to be the Celebrity Ambassador for the charity, participating in five different upcoming 5K runs. The Foundation's site has also been updated with a notice that "Covington has also signed on as the Jingle Bell Run Celebrity Ambassador for all JBR events in Tennessee."
Congratulations to Bucky and the Arthritis Foundation--sounds like a winning combination! If you're one of Bucky's Tennessee fans, stay tuned for more details on those events, and be sure to say hello to him while you're lacing up those running shoes for a good cause. More soon--Winnie
