Among the other artists helping to kiss domestic violence goodbye are Reba McEntire, Kellie Pickler, Rodney Atkins, Sara Evans, Miranda Lambert, Wynonna and Naomi Judd, Jennifer Hanson and Emerson Drive.

Miranda Lambert Gives Cause For The Paws

In the last four years, Miranda Lambert has gone from a reality show star to a Grammy-nominated country superstar, but she hasn’t let the success go to her head – in fact, its gone straight to the animals!

On April 20, Lambert hosted her first ever charity event, the ‘Cause for the Paws’ Wine Tasting Festival to benefit the struggling East Texas Humane Society. For years, Lambert has been a huge supporter of the shelter, often encouraging her fans to make donations rather than give gifts to her.

According to Humane Society officials, the organization will actually lose revenue in 2008. Helping to offset the loss, Lambert – joined by country stars Blake Shelton and Kacey Musgraves – appealed to the public to help raise funds during the event, which included silent/live auctions, food and wine tasting, a Meet and Mingle VIP cocktail party, and a concert featuring all three entertainers.

The event also featured a few special VIP guests – adoptable shelter dogs looking for a home, and Delilah, a dog Lambert adopted in 2007.

“Cause for the Paws” was also supported online by Lambert, who kicked off an eBay auction on April 7. More than 40 items were auctioned off to raise money for the Humane Society of East Texas, including items from Lambert, Taylor Swift, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, George Strait, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Ray Cyrus, and Merle Haggard among others.

All proceeds from Lambert’s eBay auction and the “Cause for the Paws” event will help care for abused, abandoned and unwanted animals, and for that we thank you Miranda Lambert.

Kissing Violence Good-bye

Country music artists puckered up to create a collection of kissed cards that are being auctioned off to fans on line until the end of this year. The framed lip prints were displayed earlier this month at the 41st Annual Country Music Association Awards.

Stars like Reba McEntire, Sara Evans, Jennifer Hanson, Miranda Lambert, Jo Dee Messina, Jennifer Nettles, Tanya Tucker and Wynonna applied their favourite Mary Kay lip product and left their prints on cards that were then analyzed by a “professional kissologist.”

Proceeds are to benefit the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation programs committed to ending domestic violence. The Foundation also funds research on finding cures for cancers affecting women. Says “A Kiss for Country” charity campaign spokesperson and country superstar Martina McBride, “Through the kisses of my fellow Country Music artists, we are hoping to help put an end to domestic violence.”

Mary Kay has also pledged, through the Foundation, a $20,000 grant to a women’s shelter in the name of each artist who donated a kiss, and up to $3 million to women’s shelters around the United States in 2008.
“With one in three women in this country affected by domestic violence, it is important for survivors to know there is help in their neighborhood,” said Mary Kay senior vice president Rhonda Shasteen.
