A million kudos to Taylor for giving his energy and time to SUCH a worthy cause such as this event - an event that could very possibly save thousands of women's lives each year from the horrible disease of breast cancer. No surprise, tho... he has been giving of himself to worthy and charitable events for years now. I can't think of a more compassionate and giving person than him.
Wouldn't it be perfect for him to sing his new single "What's Right is Right" at the event? The lyrics are simply perfect ...."marching step by step, walking side by side", "I'm with you all the way to the finish line....", "We're gonna cross that bridge together." Yes, this song should be adopted by this organization and get played every single year without fail.

Good for Taylor to get involved. He's a real giver. Looks like I'll be seeing A LOT of Taylor in March!
Life will be VERY good on the West coast!
How awesome for Taylor to do this. This is really close to my heart, since I'm going on my 6th year being breast cancer free. Im would think if he sings WRIR, he should swoon over a few new fans there.
Way to go Taylor.
The words to WRIR are perfect for this event, and it shows his big heart too. I hope they all sing it over and over in their heads, and embrace Taylor for bringing them this theme song. This could be the PR angle he has been working towards, and they will realize that AI blew it by not endorsing Taylor. I think he will gain many fans at this event, and get lots of publicity at the event too. We better look out, cause he's gonna be showing up everywhere soon. Great idea from his PR people!! BabyDoll
