The Michigan chapter of the Make-A-Wish foundation held its Pistons Cares Telethon on Friday, March 14th and Jimmy was among several entertainers who supported the cause.

The 17-hour event raised more than $480,000 and gave PS&E an opportunity to grant 60 wishes for Michigan kids with life-threatening medical conditions. A check presentation is planned for halftime of tonight’s Nuggets vs. Pistons game.

Entertainers including Jimmy Buffett, The Marshall Mathers Foundation, Kid Rock, Anita Baker, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, The Police, Santana, concert promoters Live Nation and AEG Live all supported the event.

Despite no singles doing well on the charts, the album still reached #6 on the Billboard Country Charts and #10 on the Billboard Pop Charts.
