Carrie Underwood has partnered with her husband Mike Fisher to call on fans to help them "rescue children in crisis". The country superstar and her former National Hockey League player husband have shared a heartfelt plea with fans to donate money and help to feed the children around the world.
"When I look from the stage at the seats in this arena, every seat represents a child who needs help," the mom-of-two said in the video.
Posted to Compassion International's social media pages and shared by Carrie and Mike, the caption read: "We are facing off against global hunger and need your help to rescue children in crisis."
It continue: "When you attend a @predsnhl game in #Nashville, every seat represents a child who needs help. @compassion is partnered with @predsfoundation and country music artists to Fill The Arena and feed 17,159 children in Nashville and around the world.
"Every meal you provide will give children a real chance to thrive! Give now at fillthearena.com"
The website asks for donations, and reveals that "every seat in our arena represents a child in need and every $500 donated feeds that child and their family for 10 months. Every meal you help provide will give children a real chance to thrive."
Carrie is known for her philanthropic nature and also regularly works with Memphis' St. Jude Children's Research Hospital including supporting their Love Music Stop Cancer campaign.
The Memphis, Tennessee hospital never charges parents a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food. It also uses art therapy, including music, to work with the children and help reduce pain and anxiety.
She also works with Brad Paisley and his wife Kimberly Paisley Williams to help benefit their free grocery store in Nashville, and in 2021 contributed her voice to a song that celebrates the need for "stretchy pants'' after eating a big Thanksgiving meal.
"I’ve got a little Christmas Bonus for you guys!" Carrie shared alongside the animated video which showed various different people dancing in tartan pants, and Carrie singing: "Spandex and lycra you better work it for me."
A portion of the proceeds from streams and downloads of Stretchy Pants was donated to The Store, which the pair launched in 2020.
