Miranda Raises Over $120,000 For Her Cause!
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
Lambert and Friends Have a Doggone Good Time At The Second Annual
"Cause For The Paws" In Tyler, TX!
The event raised approximately $120,000 after expenses and managed to top the earnings of last year (Which came in at $113,000).
"I can't
express how much this year's 'Cause For the Paws' event touched me, " stated
Miranda. "The giving spirit of those who were at the event this year was
truly inspiring. It means the world to me and to the animals of East Texas. I am
excited to see the improvements that we will make at the shelter. Thank
you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot wait to see everyone next year!"
Activities at Miranda Lambert's "Cause for the Paws" Wine
Tasting Festival which took place at Tyler's beautiful and serene Villa di
Feliciata included a silent and live auction, food and wine tasting, a Meet and
Mingle VIP private cocktail party for sponsors of the event and a concert with
Miranda, Blake Shelton, Kasey Musgraves and Adam Hood. Miranda's "bus
buddy", Delilah, who is a Humane Society of East Texas alumnus, was also on
hand.
"It's hard to think that last year's event could have
been beaten... But this year everything was just perfect," states Executive
Director of Humane Society of East Texas, Gayle Helmes. "Everything
from the performances, to the auction, to the weather and the gorgeous venue, it
all came together and we brought great awareness to this cause and raised money
to help make improvements to our shelter. None of this would have been
possible without Miranda and her supporters so we are grateful."
Lambert, an animal lover and Lindale native, chose the Humane Society of East
Texas as her charity and has been a supporter for several years. She is
involved in many facets of helping abused, abandoned and neglected animals
through Pawsabilites, the umbrella name which encompasses this charity event as
wells at TAILS (Texoma Animal Improved Living Society), and RACE (Ran's Animal
Care Express).
"After being blessed with my tour buddy
Delilah from the shelter, I became even more convinced that the saying 'think
globally, act locally' was a great motto for me," says Lambert.
This year's event is made possible in part by Dobbs & Tittle, P.C.
(Tyler, TX) and many other supportive sponsors.
Miranda is
currently working on a new record, due out in September of 2009, but in the
meantime hasn't slowed down one bit. Her newest single "Dead Flowers" from the
forthcoming album is working its way up the charts. Lambert finds herself
amongst great company as special guest on Kenny Chesney's Sun City Carnival Tour
with dates scheduled through the summer.

The animals don't know where you're from, they just know that they're hurting
