“As a performer, I’m lucky to have the opportunity to share my messages with the public, but through ‘A Kiss for Country,’ Mary Kay is allowing me to spread hope,” says Martina McBride, spokesperson for the one-of-a-kind campaign dedicated towards ending domestic violence against women.
One Kiss Can Make A Difference. Country music fans helped by bidding over $10,000 online for the autographed celebrity *smooch* cards in December, with 100% of the proceeds donated to violence prevention programs. Also as part of the campaign for this year, Mary Kay will award $20,000 grants on behalf of each artist that participated in ‘A Kiss For Country’ to a domestic violence shelter in their state.
“Mary Kay Inc. and the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation have been supporting women’s shelters, raising awareness and addressing the issues of violence against women for over a decade. Each year, the Foundation provides grants to women’s shelters in all 50 states and, in 2008, will donate $3 million to women’s shelters around the country.”
If you or anyone you know needs immediate help, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).

Thanks for dropping by!
I think that this is a great thing for Mary Kay to do. I wish more companies would contribute to causes such as these.
It is a wonderful effort on the part of Mary Kay.
There was a time when women were at the mercy of all sorts of abuses because no women had the financial power to support avenues of escape.

One Kiss Can Make A Difference…
Sara Evans, Reba McEntire, George Strait, and Ronnie Milsap were just some of the hottest names in country music that puckered up to support the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation at the 2007 CMA Awards in November.
“As a performer, I’m lucky to …
Don’t think I would have been too excited to kiss Ronnie Milsap, but it is a great cause.
What a great idea for Mary Kay! Yes, this is very admirable. I thought the same about Ronnie Milsap, 3plus3, but I think Strait might be alright for a smooch. They should really have some of the younger singers sign up for this, too.
I’m with you, 3plus3. Ronnie wouldn’t do it for me. Perhaps Keith Urban. Maybe! Otherwise I’d pass and just give my donation to the charity. Great stuff, though.

I had not heard about this. I think exceptionally fantastic. Mary Kay has the best cosmetics. A friend of mine used to sell them.
I think it is great any company donates to and supports a good cause. It always helps to have celebrities.
Personally, none of the country guys are ones I would want to smooch.
Chase, if I knew about the auction in December, I would have bidded for Reba’s *kiss* because my mother is a big fan of her and it would really have made a very nice Christmas present.
3Plus3, don’t think I’d be too excited kissing him either.
Ever since I started researching for this article, I’ve bumped into a couple of other similar fundraisings, and what I would give to have one of those CSI hunks to give me a momento of their sexy lips!
Katharina, I sure would love to see some of the new upcoming country stars come out and donate their smooch for a good cause.
I actually have been reading up on the Mary Kay Foundation and they support a lot of causes for women including breast cancer research.
It’s very good of them to give back to the community.
Samantha, yummy. Keith Urban would be my fav too! I wouldn’t mind Tim McGraw either, but the wife might say something about it
Roguegal, I think so too. Mary Kay makes great quality cosmetics. I grew up with it and Avon because my mother just loves their stuff.
I do, think though, it is just a little big overpriced.
EviesEarth, I guess then the question would be who you would consider *smooch worthy*!
I like the more rock n roll/heavy metal types.
oh yeah, and Johnny Depp is very smooch worthy hehe
EviesEarth, you know I really had a thing for Garth Brooks when he crossed over to rock with that dark alter persona of his.
I forgot what he changed his name to. Do you remember that?
