Country Music stars Miley Cyrus, the Carter Twins, Gloriana, Kellie Pickler and Carrie Underwood have joined a new group of young talent to help support the Special Olympics. They will all be contributing to A Very Special Christmas Volume 7, an album of new and traditional Christmas songs that benefits the Special Olympics. It will be released Nov. 24.

When the first volume of this project was released, Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver said, “I am full of admiration for the many artists who have helped us.  It’s a great tribute that these men and women say to themselves, ‘I’ll use my talent to help others.’ It’s not easy because they’ve got so many demands on them and every charity wants them, but they’ve helped us, and I’m very grateful.” The same is true for the new group of artists working on the seventh project.
