Keith Urban Fans Create 2009 Calendar To Raise Money For The Kids Of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Capitol Records) - Fans of Keith Urban have created a limited edition 2009 calendar to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and its fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Authorized by Urban, the calendar is designed by fans and features photos of the popular artist taken by members of this fan club. The calendar is available for purchase at www.keithurban.net and www.keithurbanfans.net; or can be ordered by calling 1-800-886-3656. The cost of the calendar is $15.00.

In 2002, Urban personally called on members of his fan club to assist the fund-raising efforts of St. Jude, and his fans took his message to heart. The 2003 calendar was an immediate hit among Urban fans, so it became an annual creative project, with the 2009 version marking the seventh edition of the calendar.

Sales of the calendar are part of Country Fans Care for St. Jude Kids, a fundraising program involving the fans of country music's new and established stars. All money raised by the program benefits St. Jude, one of the world's premier pediatric cancer research centers.
