Rascal Flatts
have been presented a proclamation from the city of Nashville in recognition
of the band's charity work in the community. Nashville Mayor Karl Dean delivered the proclamation during the trio's Tuesday
night (Dec. 14) appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. Rascal Flatts have been active supporters of the Jason Foundation, a nonprofit
organization raising awareness of the issue of youth suicide, and the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
They have also been honored with the Make a Wish Foundation's Shining Star Award and the Nashville Symphony's Harmony Award.
In accepting the latest honor from the mayor, band member Jay DeMarcus said, "We love calling Nashville home and thank everyone
in this city who have helped us help the community and for being a part of our career." Rascal Flatts resume their Nothing
Like This tour on Jan. 14 in Sioux Falls, S.D., with opening acts
Luke Bryan and
Chris
Young.
