Patty shares her deepest sympathy, stating: "As my family and I have been watching the devastation from Hurricane Sandy in the New York City and New Jersey areas, we've been shocked by the damage. But we've been so encouraged by the spirit with which our country has come together to help each other. Jason and I want to help in any way we can - and we hope this benefit concert can help spread the Hope of Christmas through song and by meeting people's physical needs through donations to World Vision. We're honored to be a part."
Crabb shares: "With a family of my own, I cannot imagine having everything ripped out from underneath you! I'm honored, if even in a small way, to help mend lives and soothe broken hearts."
