Some of country music's hottest stars, including Billy Ray Cyrus, BlackHawk, Anita Cochran, The Great Divide, David Kersh, Tracy Lawrence, Lila McCann, Jo Dee Messina, Julie Reeves, The Wilkinsons, Steve Wariner, Bryan White and the Warren Brothers donated their time to perform at the recent 5th Annual Sizzlin' Country concert benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California. Since 1994, Sizzlin' Country has brought top-notch country artists together for a great cause: the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation -- the organization devoted to finding a cure for the No. 1 genetic killer of children and young adults. This year's fun-filled event raised more than $430,000 for Cystic Fibrosis research and care programs, yielding a $100,000 increase over last year. Sizzlin' Country is a premier country music concert held annually in Los Angeles the night prior to the Academy of Country Music Awards.
