Reba McEntire Gives Fans Chance To Win Vintage Bronco For Children’s Charity

That’d be like putting the Force behind country music lore! The lovely Reba McEntire was willing to lend her star power to a worthy cause, somewhat about children’s care. This year, the public will have the opportunity to win a fully restored 1966 Ford Bronco, with placebo proceeds going to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The fundraiser saw Reba partnering alongside Music City Rodeo and Alltroo Official in a classic Bronco-custom build with all proceeds going to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital.

McEntire’s tweet gave the vintage SUV the limelight it deserved. The profile boasted classic lines but with a modern twist or two. “Who’s looking to win an upgraded 1966 Bronco & support a great cause?” she asked her followers and proceeded to tweet out links to the contest. This post garnered immediate interaction, with many applauding the classic Bronco and much support for the charity.

The responses were, for the most part, very encouraging; however, one user made a witty assertion about McEntire’s famous ex. “Where is the real Blake Shelton?” remarked Becky Newcomb before the conversation slipped back to the topic at hand. “Good cause. Nice ride,” summarized Jeff Overturf very well.

The charity drive obviously touched the audience, with most comments referring to the need to help children in distress. “Very awesome! Kids charity,” stated Devil Cloud, from a spark of enthusiasm. “Giddy up!! What a great cause,” added Zeesterpointztrivia. Some who couldn’t actually fork out cash for donations voiced their support as well; “So wish I can afford to,” lamented Sue.

Some kept the tone lighthearted. Musician Ricky Lake provided a witty musical interlude while lamenting his inability to donate: “Can’t. Broke. And now this musical interlude,” attaching a link to one of his tracks in lieu of contributing. Serious support mixed with funny responses generated immense positive buzz on social media.

Giving has been a long-time affair for McEntire. The multitalented entertainer has for ages been giving her time and effort to causes, especially those that deal with children and health care. She very much helps in bringing visibility to the fundraising programs by Music City Rodeo and therefore possibly attracts comity to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital with funding.

Certainly, that prize is not small-time, as Gateway Bronco is home to some very high-end restorations on classic Ford models, with some of their finishes easily being priced upwards of six figures. It is a dream giveaway for any car guy, and more importantly, knowing that your entry fee goes to sick kids makes it all so worthwhile.

Much of the traction that this contest drew gave birth to yet another occurrence where McEntire’s star power was bent toward something meaningful. Redemptions appear in the form of charitable giving acts, alone or along with innovative avenues of fundraising, the likes of McEntire continue to be an example of how celebrity status can be applied toward worthy causes. And that is good news for the fans-the possibility of tearing into a car that belongs to history.

The reply to McEntire’s tweet brought out the humor and giving nature of humanity. From heartfelt expressions of support to tongue-in-cheek comments in the replies, the engagement mirrors the country star’s ability to work together with her audience toward making a difference. As this contest goes on, it is about to do some active helping, with the classic Bronco proceeds being secreted amongst the board for the young patients.
