AMERICAN IDOL ALUM DANNY GOKEY ANNOUNCES 3RD ANNUAL CRUISE FOR SOPHIA'S HEART

SPECIAL VIP RECEPTION OFFERED FOR CABINS BOOKED BY OCTOBER 31 

Nashville, TN (October 23, 2012) – Season 8 American Idol Finalist and Nashville Recording Artist Danny Gokey officially announced the 3rd Annual Cruise for Sophia’s Heart Foundation today.  The cruise will set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida on February 24, 2013 with Gokey, Season 8 American Idol Winner Kris Allen and The Voice finalist Jamar Rogers on board.  The cruise, benefiting Sophia’s Heart, will kick off with a VIP reception on opening night for guests who book cabins by October 31st.  The reception will feature an intimate welcome and meet & greet with Gokey, Allen and Rogers.  All guests on the four-day Bahamas Cruise will enjoy concerts, meet & greets, silent and live auctions, dinners and more with each artist. 

“I’m excited that we get to do this benefit cruise again for the third year,” says Gokey.  “Last year’s cruise raised over $23,000 to help fund our programming, which was a tremendous blessing to the families who have come through Sophia’s Heart this year.  Everyone that knows me knows Sophia’s Heart is a huge part of my life and I’m so thankful for all the support over the past few years.”

Since moving to Nashville following American Idol, Gokey has been busy helping homeless children and families in a 77,000 square foot facility donated to Sophia’s Heart in late 2010.  The proceeds from the cruise will allow Sophia’s Heart to support compassion programs in Nashville including homeless children, families and efforts to assist victims rescued from human trafficking.
