Press Release Body = Kenny Chesney Donation Helps Support Disabled Children
Country Western singer Kenny Chesney has donated an autographed guitar to be
auctioned on eBay to generate funds for Personal Ponies Ltd., an international
non-profit organization dedicated to providing UK Shetland ponies as companions for
children with disabilities.
Personal Ponies, Ltd., is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1986 to promote
the idea that children with disabilities will be immeasurably enriched by having a
small pony to care for and enjoy. Children with disabilities across the United
States have benefited from the program. Personal Ponies, Ltd., is unique in that it
has no paid members. In fact, aside from occasional donations, members shoulder the
cost of raising and maintaining the ponies. "It is exciting for us that Mr. Chesney
has donated this autographed guitar for us to generate funds for PPL" stated Annie
Norvelle, National Media Director for the program. She adds "We hope that due to Mr.
Chesney\'s popularity we will be able to have a very successful auction."
In order to validate the authenticity of the autographed guitar, Mr. Ezra Shashoua,
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Executive Vice President of Cruzan Intl.,
Inc., sponsor of Kenny Chesney\'s concert tours, has provided a letter stating the
autograph is genuine. A picture of this letter will be visible on the auction site.
According to Mr. Shashoua, \"...Kenny personally autographed a Washburn Guitar (Model
\"D9C\" and serial number FC03101603) at my request. It was my understanding that the
Washburn Guitar autographed by Kenny would be placed in an auction and the proceeds
utilized by the charity to continue to provide its remarkable services to these very
special children.\"
The eBay auction commenced June 1, and is eBay Item Number 4247815020. The auction
will run for seven calendar days. Personal Ponies extends a heartfelt thanks to Mr.
Chesney for this support.
