Last night (Feb. 28), some of country's biggest stars gathered in downtown Nashville to raise money for a great cause. The T.J. Martell Foundation's ninth annual Nashville Honors Gala, held at the Omni Hotel, raised $535,000 to benefit leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. Along with fundraising efforts, five honorees were presented with awards for their inspiring efforts in the community.
