Chris Young spent his last weekend on the water raising money for the T.J. Martell Foundation and their fight against cancer.

On Saturday (6/1), Chris was joined by fellow country music fisherman Drew Baldridge, Craig Wayne Boyd, T. Graham Brown, Jeff Cook, The Swon Brothers along with legendary anglers and NBC Sports Outdoors’ Th3 Legends, Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston and Roland Martin as he presented “The 3rd Annual Th3 Legends Cast For a Cure Big Bass Tournament” outside Nashville.

Chris shared after the event, “I couldn’t have asked for a better day on the lake. The weather was perfect, I got to spend the day fishing with friends and we raised a lot money for the T.J. Martell Foundation in their fight against cancer, a battle my own Dad has fought and won.”
