DOVE Award winner and Vine recording artist Janet Paschal recently performed at the Nashville Survivors' Celebration Dinner, a kick-off event for the annual Race For The Cure, where she shared three songs from her recent recording, Sounds Like Sunday (Vine Records), during the evening's festivities held at the Doubletree Hotel downtown.

A cancer survivor herself, Paschal captivated the room as she read passages from her personal journal and shared life-changing moments from her own fight with breast cancer in recent years.

"She had me laughing. She had me crying. And that was before we got to hear that incredible voice, stated Jo Dermid of BBJ Linen, a sponsor for the evening.

"We are so proud and honored that Janet has aligned herself with such an organization," stated Wayne Haun, co-owner of Vine Records. "Janet's story resonated with those present as evidenced by a standing ovation from hundreds of Komen staff, sponsors and honorary survivors."

Ten percent of all proceeds from the sale of Sounds Like Sunday will be given to Susan G Komen for The Cure. The project, produced by Haun, is available nationwide and is exclusively distributed by Crossroads Entertainment and Marketing, Inc.

In 1982, Susan G. Komen for the Cure launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.
