SHELTON HOSTS 'RAINDANCE'

On April 22-24, country music star Blake Shelton’s 2nd Annual Raindance Charity Event will take place in his hometown of Ada, OK. The event will last three days and will include sporting events like an archery tournament and team roping. The event will conclude with a concert by Shelton, Steve Holy, Neal McCoy and Craig Morgan. These four men will also be signing Shelton’s Takamine guitar to be auctioned off online on Tuesday, April 24th and run through the month of May.

Last year’s event raised over $133,000 for the victims of Oklahoma’s 2005-2006 struggle with drought and wildfires. After Shelton witnessed first hand the destruction of family farms and livestock, he decided to host Raindance. “When I saw how some of my Oklahoma neighbors were so deeply affected by natural disasters - it got me to thinking about how I could help – I felt I had to do something. RAINDANCE is a good fit for me, I enjoy all the events and hopefully so do a lot of other people,” said Shelton .

Raindance has partnered with the Oklahoma Lumbermen’s Association and their relief program, Project Rebuild, to distribute aid throughout the 28 counties of Oklahoma.
