Alan Jackson Supports the CCA's Blue Note Fund
 Country music legend Alan Jackson recently released a limited supply of his beautifully hardbound photo book, Seasons of Sweetbriar. The book holds more than 200 photos of the picturesque Jackson family estate in the hills of Tennessee, and thanks to the Jacksons' generosity, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the CCA’s Blue Note Fund. We sincerely thank Alan and his wife, Denise, a colon cancer survivor, for their altruism and partnership in assisting colon cancer patients in need.
Hear from Denise about the photographic collection or purchase
the book today.
