Third Annual “Cause for Paws” Benefit is Six Weeks Away
Nashville, TN (March 29, 2010) --- For the second year in a row, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton performed at a benefit concert in Tishomingo, OK. The event was a complete success and early sell-out. Nearly $70,000 was raised as attendees from all over Oklahoma and Texas came out for an evening that featured acoustic performances from Miranda, Blake and Clancy Davis (Blake’s cousin) as well as a cocktail party, dinner and live and silent auctions.
The event, hosted by MuttNation Foundation, was held in an effort to financially support the Tishomingo, OK and surrounding areas with specific attention to the local Veteran's program and the Tishomingo Animal Shelter. The shelter is currently under construction with the proceeds from last year's event. This year's proceeds are submitted to assist in maintenance and staffing of the shelter.
Additional organizations receiving funds from the event include:
· Tishomingo School System or Band Boosters for Music in the Schools
· The American Legion of Tishomingo
· The Veteran's War Memorial
· Murray State College Scholarship Fund
· The Millborn Fire Department
· The WW II Veteran's of Tishomingo
· Tishomingo Splash Pad Water Park (Phase I)
