Despite Tour Troubles, Bryan Had Much To Celebrate In April 2025
Despite the tour malfunctions, Bryan has kept busy in Nashville, Tennessee, where most recently, the singer teamed up with Raising Cane’s founder Todd Graves to celebrate a $1 million donation to The Brett Boyer Foundation.
The foundation was co-founded in 2017 by Bryan and his wife, Caroline, in memory of Caroline’s late niece, Sadie Brett Boyer, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome and a congenital heart defect (CHD).
According to a report from The Blast, Bryan related his approach to charity to his career goals during a previous press conference, saying, “I wrote all these goals down on a dry erase board and I remember [thinking] ‘Pick one goal, do it. Pick another goal, and make them attainable, and here I am 20 years later, and I’ve hit [so many] goals.”
He also discussed how important giving back is to him and his family. “As a family, we always try to do what we can to give back and make time for it,” he explained. “We miss out on some sleep, but at the end of the day, it feels good to do the right stuff.”

Bryan’s Foundation Helps Support Many Families Facing CHD
As he continued, Bryan explained how the donations to The Brett Boyer Foundation directly impact families dealing with CHD.
“So many times when people donate to a charity they never know where the money goes, but this money goes directly to the families and kids with CHD. Not only is CHD not talked about enough, but people rarely realize the strain it puts on parents and siblings and we want to help however we can,” Bryan said. “Family is at the heart of this and so many are in hospitals not knowing the future of their kids’ lives.”
He added, “It’s an enormous undertaking for these families and knowing that The Brett Boyer Foundation can come in and help families worldwide is amazing. We started small and are growing!”
