]]> Next month, Carrie Underwood will be making an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, where she’ll be turning everything from a country barnyard atmosphere, to something pink in support of breast cancer recognition.

This will take place during her performance at the Opry on  Friday, October 2nd.  Gracing the stage, Carrie will flip a switch, turning the whole stage pink and will be supporting the Women Rock for the Cure and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charities.

Carrie will be joined by Terri Clark among other performers. What can you do to help? Order tickets! When you order the tickets either by phone or online, make sure to include the “OPRYPINK.” They will give $5 from every purchase to the charities.

Make sure to grab tickets online from opry.com or by calling in at this number: 1-800-733-6779.

That’s amazing! Hopefully they’ll be able to raise a bunch of money for the charities!

]]> American Idol Gives BackThe more I hear Ryan Seacrest talk about the American Idol Gives Back campaign, the more I really feel this is going to be an amazingly huge fundraising event and effort.

From the people they’ve got involved with the special show they’re going to have in a couple of weeks on April 24th, and the sponsors they’ve already got lined up to sponsor the number of incoming phone calls, I think this relief effort is going to raise a couple of million dollars at least!

The focus of American Idol Gives Back is to raise awareness of poverty and it’s impact on children in the United States and in Africa. The two day event will entail the following:

  • Tuesday April 24, your vote will count more than ever. Each time you call, sponsors will make a donation to Charity Projects Entertainment Fund to help children and young people in America and Africa.
  • Wednesday April 25, a very special results show will feature a star-studded extravaganza of celebrity artists performing at both the American Idol stage and prestigious Disney Hall, including: Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Helena Bonham Carter, Forest Whitaker, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Mr. Bean – Rowan Atkinson, and Daniel Radcliffe from “Harry Potter!”

Do you realize it more stars and celebrities got involved like this and put their money where their mouth is, the efforts of Hollywood and professional sports teams could probably eliminate a significant portion of many of the problems that are not solved purely because of effort and money.

I applaud American Idol and its producers for trying to impact change in our world by using their clout and popularity to do something really good.
