The Jake Owen Foundation, a 501 (C) 3 private nonprofit established as the vision and personal passion of country music superstar Jake Owen, hosted its third annual Flamingo this past weekend (Nov. 22-24) in Vero Beach, FL.
The 2024 Flamingo Charity Event spanned three days, featuring a Golf Classic welcoming 22 groups/176 golfers; a sold-out Benefit Concert entertaining an audience of 1,500 attendees (with performances by Jake Owen and friends Zach Top, Scotty Emerick, Styles and Wynn Williams); followed by a Songwriter’s Jam (showcasing Zach Top, Styles and Wynn Williams); a Comedy Jam (hosted by Ryan Parsons with appearances by Jon Reep and Sheena Reagan); a Family Fun Run with 200 participants, and a Fishing Tournament drawing 50-plus anglers.
Established in 2010, the organization provides financial support (on a national and local level) to children battling cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases throughout the country (in association with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN) and lends assistance to various local chapters of the American Cancer Society and Autism Speaks, youth organizations and charities in Owen’s hometown, Vero Beach, Florida, and surrounding Indian River County.
Raising funds through private donations, brand partnerships, and special events, the Jake Owen Foundation has raised more than 8 million dollars to assist youth programs, education, healthcare, fitness, nutrition, enrichment and crisis care.
