One of the top-ranked female vocalists in any genre, Lynn Anderson is often referred to as a singer's singer. Lynn's strong, husky vocals have garnered her more awards and accolades than many country artists combined, and an audience that spans both country and popular music. She is considered one of the finest entertainers in country music and is often called The Great Lady of Country Music.
Lynn's personal interests are far-reaching. She is a champion horsewoman and has won 16 National Championships, eight World Championships and several celebrity championships.
Lynn epitomizes the mission of Careity Foundation through her caring and heartfelt attitude. Over seventeen years ago she began her philanthropic walk with the founders of the Careity Foundation, Lyn Walsh and Beverly Branch. She kicked off a very successful trail-ride that raised substantial funds to help MS clients.
Through her efforts Careity Foundation auctions have benefited from famous artists and designers such Chihuly, Manuel and J. D. Challenger to name only a few. She has energized the crowds and wowed the audiences, paid her band to join her, secured phenomenal auction items, and had the Rotary Club of Fort Worth in the palm of her hand. This is her second appearance in the Branded event as a model and entertainer. Lynn has also been a crowd favorite in Careity Foundation’s Celebrity Cutting several times.
Our passions are her passions and without even asking Lynn has stepped up to enable Careity Foundation to provide the services we are all so passionate about. Truly she is one of the most empathetic, dedicated and altruistic women we have had the pleasure to know.
We are honored and privileged to present the inaugural 2008 Careity Legend Award to Lynn Anderson.
