The COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION's (CMA) charitable arm, CMA FOUNDATION, was honored yesterday (10/21) during the “AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS' National Arts Awards,” held in NEW YORK CITY. The awards recognize the contributions made by national leaders advancing the arts in the U.S. The CMA's philanthropic organization commits to funding and improving music education for children across the nation.

RCA NASHVILLE's CHRIS YOUNG and CMA FOUNDATION Executive Dir. TIFFANY KERNS were on hand to receive the award at the ceremony.

“As someone who has experienced firsthand the real benefits of learning music at an early age, I’m honored to help shine a spotlight on the CMA FOUNDATION and the important work they are doing to make music more accessible in our schools,” said YOUNG, a member of the Foundation's board.

“It is an honor for the CMA FOUNDATION to receive the Arts Education Award,” said KERNS. “Our team works passionately to make sure that we are following our ongoing mission of providing high-quality music education in our public schools and [helping] shape the leaders of our future generations.”
