As a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Random Acts of Light Campaign—an initiative created where celebrities surprise people affected by blood cancers with special experiences—Charles surprised acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivor Caitlin Hensley, 26, with tickets to the Nashville Tour in Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend. Caitlin, who is a Nashville super fan, got the full VIP experience, which included early entry, a meet-and-greet, photos, autographs and more.

Nice work, guys.
