1 PRESENTS THE 12 th Annual Scholarship Luncheon BENEFITING ORANGEWOOD FOUNDATION Friday, June 10, :30 a.m. 1:30 p.m. Featuring Former foster youth turned county singer/songwriter & New York Times best-selling author JIMMY WAYNE

2 Guest Speaker Jimmy Wayne Jimmy Wayne is a former foster child turned country music singer/songwriter whose songs and story highlight his mission to bring awareness to the youth who age out of the foster system and become homeless. With hits such as "Put Your Hand In Mine," "I Love You This Much," and "Paper Angels," he released "Do You Believe Me Now," his biggest hit to date for which he earned the Millionaire Award for having one million radio spins in America. In 2009, Jimmy toured with Brad Paisley and recorded "Sara Smile" with Daryl Hall and John Oates. In 2010, Jimmy walked halfway across America to raise awareness for youth aging out of the system. The next year, he became CASA s national spokesperson and released the novel Paper Angels which became a made-for- TV movie with the same title. In 2012, Jimmy helped get the bill extending the age of foster care to 21 passed in both California and Tennessee. Jimmy lives in Nashville and continues to raise awareness for youth by writing, singing, and speaking. Drawing on his own troubled childhood, the songs address abusive relationships, revenge, missing children, the bad influence of negative people, and uncaring fathers, but every vignette resolves on a positive note. And there are straight-ahead love songs, too; "Tresspassin' " is a flat-out stomper celebrating the thrill of summer love. JIMMY WAYNE heralds the arrival of a promising Nashville talent. -CDUniverse.com "Believe" also includes "Stay Gone" and "I Love You This Much," two hits from his debut project. Wayne is a compelling songwriter and truly gifted vocalist, and this album heralds the arrival of the country format's next major star. -Deborah Evans Price, Billboard
