Martina McBride Helps Raise Over $100,000 for YWCA

Martina McBride helped raise $102,289 for the YWCA. Martina has hosted this charity auction since 1995 and even had the highest bid of the day. She pulled in $11,000 each for two identical handwritten, autographed and framed lyrics for “She’s a Butterfly,” written by Big Kenny, who was also there to auction off the pieces.

 

“It is Martina’s genuine support and the devotion of her fans that help make the auction so successful each year,” said Pat Shea, CEO of the YW. “Those dollars will help the YWCA help women and children who need counseling, medical care, support and emergency shelter as they flee violent homes.”

 

Other big items of the night included a Brad Paisley guitar with a meet and greet for $6,000, a framed Keith Urban meet and greet and autographed “Living Right Now” concert dvd for $3,800 and a Martina McBride autographed and framed Grand Ole Opry poster (announcing Martina’s induction to the Opry) for $4,600.
