Carrie Underwood teams with Tickets-for-Charity.com to raise money for her Oklahoma hometown foundation, ACM Lifting Lives

www.TicketsforCharity.com/ACMLiftingLives.

Underwood joins artists like Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley and fellow Oklahoma native Toby Keith in this program, which gives fans access to terrific seats in sold-out sections for concerts nationwide, according to a news. Fans pay the same or better price they will find elsewhere – the difference is that their purchase through Tickets-for-Charity.com supports causes important to artists and fans, rather than ticket resellers.

The C.A.T.S. Foundation (Checotah Animal, Town, and School Foundation) is dedicated to helping a variety of causes making a positive impact in Carrie’s hometown area of Checotah.

“My hometown means everything to me,” said Underwood in a news release. “I’m so thankful for my fans and their support through Tickets-for-Charity.”

“Carrie’s personal commitment to charity is truly inspiring,” said ACM Lifting Lives Chairman Mark Hartley in the release. “We’re honored to have her tour join the ACM Lifting Lives® Tickets-for-Charity® program this year to help us reach more fans and improve more lives through the power of music.”

Fans can now get exclusive tickets, including seats in the first 10 rows for Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away Tour” and “Eat & Greet” VIP Packages for Zac Brown Band, while helping great causes at www.TicketsforCharity.com/ACMLiftingLives.
