Dierks Bentley's annual fundraiser 'Miles & Music For Kids' raised $307,000 yesterday (November 4), and drew its biggest crowd to date into Nashville.

The celebrity motorcycle ride and concert has visited seven cities across the US, and over the event’s eight-year history has raised more than $2.5 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across the country. This year, the money was donated to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.

Dierks said of the event, "Every year, the support from the fans for these events catches me off-guard. I shouldn’t be surprised because the country music community is the first to open their wallets to help out, but this year they were lined up before the sun was even up." He continued, "I have my buddies Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Easton Corbin, Brett Eldredge, Chase Rice and Storme Warren to thank for spending their Sunday afternoon with us and making it the best year yet!"

I'm sure all the sick kids are very grateful that they have Dierks on their side!
