Nashville, Tenn. (October 6, 2009) – Jaime Thietten will be a featured performer at the 22nd annual Caring Awards, October 13, 2009 in Los Angeles for the fifth consecutive year. She will perform throughout the evening, as award winners are presented.

“We’re committed to spreading the caring credo: you can do well by doing good,” commented Val J. Halamandaris, founder and executive director of the Caring Institute. “Success, as we constantly stress, is defined by having a passionate concern for the welfare of others. To reinforce this message, we continue to broadcast a new standard of social responsibility. Behind all our endeavors - past, present, and future - is the central concept that one person can make a difference,” he added

“The Caring Institute has been privileged to be surrounded by many wonderful people who support us with their recourses and talents. Jaime’s music is so inspirational and moving that it beautifully complements our message of compassion and caring.” comments Kathy Brennan, President & Secretary of the Caring Institute.

Ms. Thietten expressed her gratitude for the invitation. “I have had the opportunity to sing for the Caring Awards for the past four years,” she said. “I feel honored being asked back to share music during the ceremonies each year,” she added. “It's always hard to fight back the tears as they award people for going above and beyond to help those in need. It's definitely a worthy cause and brings well-deserved attention to many people who are making our world a better place. Val Halamandaris and Kathy Brennan, who head up the Caring Awards, truly lead by example as they are two of the most selfless, wonderful people you will ever meet.”

The Caring Institute's mission is to promote the values of caring, integrity and public service. It was founded in 1985 by Val J. Halamandaris after a meeting with Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Mother Teresa said that there was a poverty of the spirit in the developed world which was much worse than the poverty of the body seen in the
third world and directed Halamandaris to do something about it. Halamandaris put in place an awards program and a system for identifying people who give back to society in extraordinary ways and holding them up as role models to be identified by others. The Caring Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

As an artist of faith, Jaime challenges us to look past the limitations of our humanity such as denomination, background and appearances which only create divisive relationships built on the fear of differences. Through her music she encourages us to see the Love, Grace and Mercy of Jesus, and that we are called to be as one through Christ. Her desire is to lift up, in hope and forgiveness, those who are hurting, alone and afraid.
During her 10-year singing career, Thietten has used her soaring soprano voice to garner radio airplay around the world, win major industry awards, and share stages with acts such as Phillips, Craig & Dean, Avalon, the Gaithers, Michael English, Clay Walker, Seventh-Day Slumber, and many others.
