(Nashville, TN)- Multi-platinum group 3 DOORS DOWN recently held their 4th annual "The Better Life Foundation" Concert at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Biloxi, MS with musical friends, Sara Evans and Musik Mafia members Jon Nicholson, Big Kenny (of Big & Rich), Shannon Lawson & Randy Hauser, and raised over $200,000 to benefit children's charities along the Gulf Coast area.

"To be able to be a part of 'The Better Life Foundation,' is truly a privilege for me," said band member Matt Roberts. "Over the past four years the foundation has been able to touch the lives of many along the Gulf Coast, my life included. I've truly learned what it means to give back to the community that has given so much to us. The annual benefit concert has been a great success and a joy to be a part of. This has simply been because of the people who have come out to support each year and enable us to continue to reach the goal of helping others."

The mission of The Better Life Foundation is all encompassing, to make positive changes in the lives of children, whether that be food, shelter or medical assistance to name a few. Each and every year the foundation works to raise funds to donate to various organizations and hospitals they believe will help them further this cause.

3 Doors Down is widely known as one of the most successful rock bands in modern day history with more than 18 million albums sold to date and six #1 singles to their credit. Known for such hits as "Kryptonite," "When I'm Gone" and "Here Without You", their style and sound are uniquely artistic and captivating. Stay tuned for their new album in spring of 2008!
