I know a whole slew of my readers are going to be in Nashville next week for Music Fest, so why not stop by and say hi to Martina McBride and help to make a difference in the lives of women at the same time?
The YWCA in Nashville will be holding their annual celebrity auction (going strong since 1983) during CMA Fest. The YWCA Celebrity Auction, hosted by Martina McBride, will benefit women and child victims of domestic violence.
Martina McBride and emcee Storme Warren, host of GAC’s “Headline Country” and “The Music Row Happy Hour” on Sirius/XM - The Highway will be the hosts of the auction which will include a fun afternoon of bidding on great one-of-a-kind items and appearances by guest artists to help keep the crowd partying.
The best part is it's free to take part which means that you can save your money on concerts and spend it on great items for an even greater cause.
All the action will take place at CMA Fest's "Family Fun Zone."
