The Team Burns Charitable Foundation ™ is a non-profit organization founded in honor of Ted Burns, who was diagnosed with an advanced form of colon cancer in late September of 2007. Though he eventually succumbed to illness a year later, he remained kind and caring, and his warm personality was the foundation for our group. The Foundation hosts charity events for the American Cancer Society (ACS) year round to help fund cancer research and advocate awareness.
Ted Burns’ warm personality and longtime friendships with many in the Monroe, GA community were the inspiration for several to start up a Relay for Life (RFL) group in his honor. Within three weeks, “Team Burns” walked at RFL 2008- Walton County, raising more than $3,000 for the ACS!

Since our very first fundraiser, the Team Burns Charitable Foundation has raised more than $10,000 for the ACS to date! In addition, we have started several traditions, including the annual Blockbuster Bake Sale in Monroe, GA, percentage nights, holiday food drives, and more. Proceeds from every event goes to the ACS. We now present to you the second-annual SpringSing: Voices United for a Cure!
SpringSing Weekend™ could not be put on without the generous contributions of time and effort from all of the dedicated souls that compose our organization. The Team Burns Charitable Foundation is a diverse group of individuals from all ages, backgrounds and walks of life, that come together for a common cause: raising money to fight back against cancer. Many of our members live in Monroe, GA, where we originally came together for Relay For Life, but recent expansion has brought in members from the University of Georgia, and all across the country!
What you see throughout SpringSing Weekend™ is an effort of love and labor from all of the many individuals across the nation that make up the Team Burns Charitable Foundation, and it is important to us that we recognize all of these individuals for their hard work and generous contributions to the ACS. All of the performers in the SpringSing Benefit Concert are extraordinarily talented, but here we remember the people who work hard several months out of the year to make sure that things run smoothly come April.
By attending SpringSing: Voices United for a Cure, you become a Team Burns supporter. SpringSing is not only an amazing concert for an unbeatable price, that raises money for a great cause at the same time, but also is a testament to the efforts of 40+ dedicated individuals who have devoted their free time to helping find a cure for cancer and supporting those who live with the disease. On behalf of the Team Burns Charitable Foundation, we hope that you save the date for SpringSing Weekend, and truly enjoy it in April!
If you don’t live in Georgia, you can still donate to the cause. On the right side of your screen, there’s a secure link to PayPal. Do what you can to help fight back against cancer!
We cannot thank you enough!
