Brad Paisley kicked off a charity telethon for flood-ravaged Nashville by making a massive $100,000 donation to fund relief efforts. Paisley was one of several celebrities who volunteered to take part in GAC’s “Music City Keep on Playin’ - A Benefit for Flood Relief” TV fundraiser on Sunday. He sang “Welcome To The Future” before announcing, “I think it’s time to start things off with a donation. We’re going to donate $100,000.” He then turned to his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley, the event’s co-host, and asked, “Is that OK?” She agreed. Sheryl Crow, Kellie Pickler, Lady Antebellum and Keith Urban also performed and manned the phones to accept donations from callers. The stars raised approximately $1.7 million for Nashville, which was hit by severe storms earlier this month, destroying or damaging 2,000 homes.
