The Grand Ole Opry has started an online Country Music Video Challenge to benefit flood relief at oprychallenge.com. The game features video clips of country stars followed by quiz questions. Throughout the Challenge, the artists invite players to donate to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s flood relief efforts.
“Friends from around the world have communicated with us via Facebook, Twitter, and email, asking what they can do to help after this spring’s floods,” explained Opry Interactive Manager Angie Reynolds, of the initiative.
Additionally, Opry Presenting Sponsor Humana® has pledged to donate $1 for each of the first 25,000 fans who play the game. Players will be able to challenge their friends in the game via Facebook and Twitter.
Prizes such as a Gibson guitar autographed by Brad Paisley are also up for grabs.
The Opry is scheduled to be staged from the Ryman Auditorium throughout the summer. The show will return to the Opry House for its 85th birthday celebration in October.
