George Is Strait With Cowboys

5/22/2008 Cliff Chartrand Country Music icon George Strait’s charitable footwear has helped the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund (JCCF) reach an important milestone. Justin Boots® has announced the JCCF surpassed the $5.5 million mark in money raised for professional rodeo athletes. Some of the money raised comes from the George Strait Collection, a line of footwear inspired by the Country Music star. The line brought in $20,000 for the JCCF last year. "Rodeo cowboys are some of the best athletes in the world," said Strait. "I've spent a lot of years being a small part of the rodeo world and it's a privilege to be able to help raise money and awareness for the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund." The “King of Country Music” has also enjoyed success of his own with the release of his latest album. Troubador debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Top Country Album charts in April and the album’s first single, “I Saw God Today”, became Strait’s 56th No.1 hit.
