Jeff Hartman & Friends Take a Hike
Veteran Touring Artist Supports Cause
Carowinds on April 17 from 10 am

CHARLOTTE/HICKORY – Hickory’s own Jeff Hartman returns to entertain the walkers for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s 2010 Charlotte Walk to Cure Diabetes held on Saturday, April 17 at Carowinds. The four-mile walk will begin at 8:30 am with registration starting at 7 am.

“We have performed several Walk locations, including Lenoir-Rhyne College and Carowinds in an effort to help raise money and entertain ‘the troops,'” says Hartman.

Jeff Hartman has been touring and promoting original music professionally for 15 years. Hartman most recently made an appearance for Newton-Auditorium’s Music & Mud festival and sold out a concert in Hickory Community Theatre’s Firemen’s Kitchen for Jimmy Rhine and Five Head Entertainment’s Summer Concert Series. Jeff & Friends includes Brian Burton, Scott McCloud, and Jeremy Shaw.

“The Walk to Cure Diabetes is a cause near and dear to my own genes and I like being involved as much as possible. We’ve enjoyed a beautiful relationship with the JDRF since 2003 and this year is no exception. Please register to walk!”

The Walk to Cure Diabetes is a walkathon held in more than 200 locations throughout the year. The JDRF’s Walks are family-friendly, held at great locations, including Lenoir-Rhyne College, and feature plenty of entertainment, food, and fun. All are invited to become one of the 500,000 plus people at the 200 Walk sites nationwide this year who are making a difference in the lives of people with type one diabetes. Folks are guaranteed to have a great time, get some exercise, and most importantly be a part of the cure, one step at a time.
