Country Stars Pay Lip Service to Charity

November 7, 2008 by Steve Purcell

An upcoming auction for the second annual A Kiss For Country philanthropic campaign will see celebrity lip prints sold off to raise money for domestic-violence centers across America.

Singer-songwriter Jewel launched the campaign in August on behalf of the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation; the Mary Kay company will itself contribute $3 million to domestic shelters in 2009.

Jewel is to finally unveil the lip prints during a press conference on Nov. 11, and the online auction will run from that date until Dec. 12.

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.
