Trisha Yearwood & “Band As One Nashville Concert For The Cure” Raise $700K For Susan G. Komen
Trisha Yearwood and the Susan G. Komen organization hosted the first ever “Band As One Nashville Concert for the Cure: Trisha Yearwood & Friends” benefit last Wednesday (March 26) at the Ryman Auditorium.
The event brought together many artists to raise funds for breast cancer patient services, generating over $700,000 in support of the cause. Joining Yearwood on the benefit show were Keith Urban, Lauren Alaina, Kristin Chenoweth, Terri Clark, Anita Cochran, Sheryl Crow, Amy Grant and Lainey Wilson. The group performed for a sold-out audience, including many breast cancer survivors and supporters of the cause. The event combined music, uplifting survivor stories, education and philanthropy through live and silent auctions.
“I am excited to bring my friends together for a cause so close to my heart and to perform in support of the fight against breast cancer,” said Yearwood. “This disease impacts individuals and families worldwide, and I am honored to lend my voice to Band As One Nashville alongside so many incredible artists to help raise awareness and make a difference through the power of music.”
The event’s proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen’s breast cancer research, patient services and community health programs, providing support to those affected by the disease.
