On Oct. 22, during the Third Annual Opry Goes Pink show, Opry member Martina McBride will flip the switch on The Grand Ole Opry’s barn backdrop, turning it pink for the night and joining Women Rock For The Cure in the fight against breast cancer. McBride’s current single “I’m Gonna Love You Through It” offers a message of hope to those affected by cancer, and is currently climbing MusicRow’s CountryBreakout Chart at No. 24. Her upcoming album, Eleven, is slated for release Oct. 11.
Opry Goes Pink will also feature performances by Lauren Alania, Edens Edge, Kellie Pickler and Ronnie Milsap.
Tickets to the event can be purchased through www.opry.com or by calling (615) 871-OPRY. Five dollars from each ticket will be donated to Women Rock For The Cure. Beginning Oct. 18, The Opry will also host an online pink auction, including autographed items by participating artists in the Opry Goes Pink. All auction proceeds benefit Women Rock For The Cure.
