Randy Travis to
headline first annual Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Concert
The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation made an exciting announcement
today.
County singing star Randy Travis (pictured right) will headline what is
being billed the "first annual" Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Concert,
to be held at the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis, IN, April 11.
Joining Travis, one of the Top 10 selling solo country artists of all
time, will be country singer Collin Raye, who himself has produced 5
platinum albums and 15 #1 hits, according to a press release form
Terri's Foundation.
The release notes, "But perhaps the closest to Collin's heart is his
granddaughter, Haley, who is afflicted with a rare degenerative brain
disorder. Collin has worked tirelessly to help find a cure for Haley
and has helped other families who are faced with similar situations."
Again, the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Concert will be Sunday, April
11. Tickets will be available through LiveNation beginning this Friday,
January 22. Tickets are $75.
Proceeds from the concert will go to Terri's Foundation, a 501(c)3
tax-exempt nonprofit organization, "established to educate and assist
families - enabling them to better protect the rights and lives of
their cognitively disabled loved ones," states the release, continuing:
Funds raised through ticket sales and sponsorships for this event will
allow Terri's Foundation to honor her legacy in many ways. Most
importantly, it will allow the foundation to continue protecting the
lives of vulnerable persons who are in jeopardy of having their lives
hastened.
