Eric Church, Sam Hunt, Elle King, and Lyle Lovett are all going to pay tribute to Willie Nelson at a gala on May 12th, where he'll be receiving the LBJ Liberty & Justice for All Award from the LBJ Foundation. The gala is going to benefit the Willie Nelson Endowment for Uplifting Rural Communities at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin.
“It’s a reflection of Willie’s impactful legacy that these extraordinary artists will be paying tribute to him. “We couldn’t be happier with how the evening is shaping up.” says Larry Temple, chairman of the LBJ Foundation Board of Trustees.
The endowment will support research and student fellowships focused on these issues to help rural communities. The endowment has received sponsorships from President Lyndon B Johnson and Mrs. Johnson’s daughters, as well as Texas retailer H-E-B.
