(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) June 6, 2013 - Award-winning singer/songwriter Brandon Heath wraps an eventful week, headlining another successful "Love Your Neighbor" benefit concert, while also participating in activities surrounding the first-ever K-LOVE Fan Awards.

Heath and renowned producer and songwriter Jason Ingram hosted their sixth annual "Love Your Neighbor" benefit concert to a standing-room-only crowd at Fellowship Bible Church in Brentwood, Tenn. The locally-minded show raised more than $16,000 through audience donations for New Hope Academy, a privately-funded pre-Kindergarten thru sixth grade school in Franklin, Tenn., which exists to serve low-income families with free tuition for its classical education.

The free event featured intimate, one-of-a-kind performances from Heath, Ingram and special guests, including GRAMMY-winning artist tobyMac, American Idol alum Mandisa and GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Laura Story. In a songwriter-in-the-round style, Heath performed several songs including his hit "Jesus In Disguise," new single "Love Does" and Ingram performed OSS worship-anthem "Forever Reign." tobyMac performed favorites "Get Back Up" and "City On Our Knees" with Mandisa bringing everyone to their feet with her hits "Stronger" and "Good Morning."

Heath and Ingram created "Love Your Neighbor" in May 2008, and the annual event has now raised more than $156,000 for Nashville and surrounding area needs. To find out more, or to donate to New Hope Academy, please visit www.nhafranklin.org.

About "Love Your Neighbor"
The "Love Your Neighbor" event is an annual free benefit concert, born out of the hearts of Christian music leaders Brandon Heath and Jason Ingram, to support local needs within the Nashville and surrounding communities. Over the last five years, a variety of beneficiaries have been helped by the show. In 2008, $20,000 was raised for Nashville area tornado victims. In 2009, David, a local Centennial High School student, lost his father, his health insurance, and was at risk of losing his vision without access to a necessary eye surgery. "Love Your Neighbor" covered the total cost of the medical attention David needed and his vision was restored. In 2010, more than $61,000 was collected for El Shaddai Church in south Nashville that was severely damaged by flooding. In 2011, gathering raised more than $25,000 for the Lee family who was affected by the devastating tornadoes in Alabama. Last year's event raised more than $14,000 for Young Life Capernaum, an outreach for students with physical and mental disabilities.
