Jeff Foxworthy: Charity Work & Causes

Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest-selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best-selling author of more than 26 books. In 2014, he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Widely known for his redneck jokes, Foxworthy goes well beyond that in his act, exploring the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s.

Foxworthy will once again be hosting the Fox television game show “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” when the show makes its return to prime time in 2015. In addition, Jeff has his own comedy channel “Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup” on SiriusXM. The channel is a partnership with SiriusXM and Larry The Cable Guy. It will showcase the best in great American comedy. You’ll hear hilarious material from this dynamic duo as well as comedy from comedians who are some of their personal favorites.

Foxworthy has dedicated his time and services to the fight against childhood cancer. He has done extensive voiceover work with CURE Childhood Cancer, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conquering childhood cancer through funding targeted research and through support of patients and their families, and with Camp Sunshine, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of Georgia’s children with cancer and their families through year-round recreational, educational and support programs. He is closely involved with the Duke University Children’s Hospital in Durham, which specializes in treating children with cancer, helping the hospital in raising funds for cancer treatment.

Foxworthy is also a New York Times best-selling children’s book author and entrepreneur, having created his own company, Foxworthy Outdoors, which has a line of products related to outdoor living.
