'The Voice': season 8 runner up Meghan Linsey auctions shoes for charity

Meghan Linsey, The Voice Season Eight runner-up, is donating a signed pair of silver boots with a gold bow tied around them to help raise money and awareness for the charity Curing Kids Cancer. The money raised will be used to enable Curing Kids Cancer to fund childhood cancer research and the auction will help to raise awareness that September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The gold bow represents the signature color for childhood cancer.

Individuals interested in bidding on the Kiss Kouture rhinestone embellished platform high heel stiletto boots should visit http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/171954176267? The auction ends October 10. The proceeds will benefit Curing Kids Cancer and will be used to fund the most innovative treatments for childhood cancers.

Linsey wore the shoes on July 4th during “A Capitol Fourth,” an annual concert that is broadcast live on PBS from the West Lawn of the United States Capitol. In addition to the signed boots, the auction winner will receive an autographed photo from the show of Linsey wearing the shoes.

“Before Meghan Linsey was a big hit on NBC’s The Voice, she was already a winner to us for supporting Curing Kids Cancer at our Craig Kimbrel Cowboy Boots Bash Concert last November,” said Grainne Owen, founder and executive director of Curing Kids Cancer. “We are thrilled to be working with her again to raise money for pediatric cancer research. She shares our belief that no child should ever die from these horrible diseases and far too many families lose their children because of a lack of funding for childhood cancer research.”
