<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ACM Lifting Lives Executive Director Lyndsay Cruz congratulates this year’s recipients and says, “The monumental industry support ACM Lifting Lives was able to offer the past two years with our COVID-19 Response Fund was due, in no small part, to the passion and vision of this year’s ACM Lifting Lives Award honorees, Paul Barnabee and Dwight Wiles. Beyond that, Paul and Dwight’s continuous dedication and contributions to ACM Lifting Lives throughout the years have helped shape the organization into what it is today, allowing us to provide meaningful support to the Country Music community when they need it most, time and time again. We look forward to celebrating their lasting impact on ACM Lifting Lives at Honors this August!” ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Paul Barnabee</strong> has been an avid supporter of ACM Lifting Lives throughout his career.
