Lady Antebellum launched 7FOR7 this week, a week-long campaign where the band travels across the country to surprise and fulfill seven wishes for seven fans in seven days.

The special endeavor preceded the release of their fifth studio album 747 out today.

"Our second stop on the 7 For 7 campaign brought us to NYC on 747 release day to surprise longtime fan, Katharine Laventis, on The Today Show!" said the bands Home Page.

"Simply put - Katharine is a loyal, understanding, and kindhearted friend to many of her peers and is diligently putting herself through nursing school. Katharine - you rock and we're proud to have you as a fan!"

This morning during their appearance on Today, Lady Antebellum surprised nursing student Katharine Laventis, who lost both her parents at a young age and is now paying her own way through school.

Laventis, who was in the crowd under the pretense that she and a friend had won free tickets to the taping, was recognized and pulled up on stage by the band during their on-air interview.

The trio then completely shocked Laventis with their announcement that they would be setting up a scholarship with American International College to help offset the cost of her tuition.
