Russell Dickerson and Wife Kailey to Be Recognized With 2026 Angels Among Us Award From St. Jude

Russell Dickerson and his wife, Kailey Dickerson, are being honored for their unwavering support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital over the years. This October, the couple will receive the 2026 Angels Among Us Award during the 36th annual Country Cares Seminar in recognition of their years of dedication to the organization’s lifesaving mission.

Throughout Dickerson’s career, he and Kailey have championed St. Jude in many different ways. They’ve participated in multiple #ThisShirtSavesLives campaigns, spent time visiting patients and their families at the hospital, hosted fan meet-and-greets benefiting the organization, supported fundraising initiatives and taken the stage at the Bobby Bones Million Dollar Show.

The “Happen To Me” singer has also served as an ambassador for the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway, taking part in numerous events focused on supporting patients. His relationship with the organization dates back to 2017, when he first attended the annual Country Cares Seminar.

The Dickersons join an esteemed group of past recipients of the Angels Among Us Award, including Randy Owen, Brothers Osborne, Scotty McCreery, Florida Georgia Line, Lady A, Jake Owen, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Old Dominion and most recently, Keith Urban.

They will be presented with the honor during this year’s Country Cares Seminar, an annual gathering that unites country artists and industry professionals in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The invitation-only event will once again take place Oct. 20-21 at the historic Peabody Hotel in Memphis.

The two-day seminar will kick off with the Angels Among Us dinner, where Russell Dickerson is set to perform. Anne Wilson will take the stage during the breakfast session on the second day, while HARDY and Lauren Alaina will close out the event with performances later that evening. 

The Country Cares Seminar is part of the Music Gives to St. Jude Kids initiative, one of the country’s largest music-driven fundraising efforts. Backed by more than 350 radio stations and music partners, the campaign helps raise more than $70 million each year to support St. Jude’s groundbreaking research and treatment for children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

The honor is especially meaningful for the Dickersons, who are parents to two young sons, Remington and Radford, with a third baby on the way. They continue to raise a family of their own while remaining committed to giving back and helping families facing unimaginable challenges.
