CHARLES TOWN, W.Va.—
Money said the commercial came about because his wife wanted to be on TV. Unfortunately, his wife ended up on the editing room floor. His said doing the commercial was worth it because it helped him to raise money for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, an organization that is dedicated to prevent and to eliminate pediatric AIDS.
Continuing with his giving streak, Money’s newest single, “One More Solider Coming Home,” raises money for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a nonprofit organization that helps U.S. military personnel and their families. The song tells the story of a soldier who doesn’t return from Afghanistan.
“I thought it was really fitting song to do,” he said.
Money said he’s looking forward to performing at Hollywood Casino.
“I like to play casinos because I can play the slots and have a lot of fun,” he said.
And where would Money go if he had two tickets to paradise?
“I’ve been around the world, and I’d just like to be at home on the couch watching football,” he said.
