Yearwood will headline the first-ever “Band As One Nashville: Concert For the Cure,” a March 26 event at the city’s historic Ryman Auditorium. Trisha will lead a star-filled lineup of friends, with money raised going toward the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s ongoing efforts to fund research breakthroughs and patient care services that can help to save lives and bring the world closer to finding cures for all breast cancers.
Trisha told us, “This event will be an unforgettable night of music supporting Susan G. Komen.” She noted the cause – and the effort to find a cure – are “very near and dear to my heart.” Like most of us, she has seen and experienced the impact of breast cancer firsthand – her mother, Gwen, fought it.
Tickets for “Band As One Nashville” are on sale via Ryman’s ticketing platform.
Every 12 minutes, a woman in the U.S. dies from breast cancer. Susan G. Komen is the world’s leading non-profit breast cancer organization, working to save lives and end breast cancer forever. Trisha is a longtime supporter.
