Amy Grant Releases New Single "Welcome Yourself" And Will Perform with Kellie Pickler To Raise Breast Cancer Awareness

Queen of Contemporary Christian music Amy Grant will be releasing a brand new song "Welcome Yourself" on September 30. The song will be available for sale on iTunes with proceeds donated to the American Cancer Society. Seventy-seven (77) cents from each download through December 31, 2014 will support the American Cancer Society's fight to end breast cancer.

Together with country singer Kellie Pickler, Amy Grant will be performing her new song at an exclusive after-party for their private "Eat. Drink. Party Pink!" event in Nashville on Sept. 30. The invitation-only festivities will kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month. The event will be sponsored by Athena® bottled water and PANDORA® Jewelry, one of the world's largest jewelry brands.

"Eat. Drink. Party Pink!" will be hosted by Ashley Eicher, AXS TV host and producer. She was awarded a Gracie Allen Award from the American Women in Radio & Television for "Outstanding Achievement as a Program Host" and was named as one of Nashville's "25 Most Beautiful People" by Nashville Lifestyles Magazine. Eicher has also co-hosted specials for ABC.com.

"I have several friends, all under the age of 35, who have battled breast cancer, so I've learned that this disease can impact any of us, no matter our age, at any time," said Eicher. "One of my friends lost her fight in 2005 while another is now cancer-free. My friend Emily was diagnosed in 2012, but because she went to an innovative diagnostic center, she was able to be diagnosed in one day and recently completed treatment. There are so many women who continue to fight this disease and even more who may not know the need or options for early detection. That's why I am thrilled to partner with Athena on this event to help raise awareness so that we can find a cure."

"We are thrilled to have Ashley Eicher and PANDORA join Athena to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month," says Donna Staton, Vice President, Marketing, DS Services. "This cause is personal to everyone involved with the event. By coming together, we hope to raise a significant amount of money to support breast cancer awareness, care, education and research."

"PANDORA is proud to be involved in such an important cause that touches the lives of so many women in the world today," said Keshia Holland, Director, Public Relations and Online, PANDORA Americas. "This initiative aligns perfectly with the PANDORA brand in celebrating women and the strength they possess. It is our hope that events such as this one that unite people under one cause will continue to support research and make strides towards finding a cure."
