Genma Holmes Needs Your Votes for "Dancing With the Nashville Stars"



I am having the time of my life preparing for Feed America First's Dancing with The Nashville Stars. I am enjoying the competion and working hard on my top secret routine. I have gotten more excercise in the last few weeks than I have in months.

The best part of competing in this exciting fundraiser is knowing that the money raised by votes for me helps stamp out hunger in our rural communities. 1 in 5 children go to bed hungry at night. Feed America First has distributed almost 30 million pounds of food to agencies in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and beyond. For every dollar donated, Feed America First has provided 12-15 meals.




So, how does it work? Online Votes are available in 10-vote packages for $10. You may purchase as many 10-vote packages as you would like by simply changing the number in the "Quantity" field and clicking "Update" on the PayPal page. For example, ten 10-vote packages equals 100 votes for $100. Thank you for your valued donation!

You can vote for me here. You can also purchase tickets or buy a table here. Of course, vote early and often! The day of performance date is:

Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013 * 6:00-9:00 p.m. At Liberty Hall at The Factory in Franklin, TN.

If you prefer to mail in checks, the address is below. Remember to put Genma Holmes (who is your friend, pal, buddy, bff, bug killer, ....) in the memo line.

Mailing Address:
