He told CNN, "We are actually putting together a fundraiser right now with NBC. We'll have more details within the next 24 hours, but definitely something with NBC that is going to happen real fast, and hopefully raise a lot of money."

Blake says the twister hit close to home -- literally. His sister lived very close to the destruction but recently moved. "My nieces and nephews would have gone to that school [Plaza Towers Elementary]."

Blake is the man.  He proves over and over he has a big heart.

Even though this was from Tuesday, I thought I would post it in case you missed it or would like to see it over and over.  Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert's touching performance of "Over You" on The Voice.

Trace Adkins is the newest Celebrity Apprentice. In the final competition he beat out Penn Jillette to win $250,000 for his charity, The American Red Cross.  And what a GREAT cause it is!!!! 

  Trace knew it would be tough.  "From day one, I looked at that cast and thought I know Penn. I've been around him, I've been to his show, been backstage, hung out with him, I've been to his show. I've been familiar with him over the years. And from day one I figured that if I was going to win this thing, I'd have to go through him."

Way to go Trace!!!!  And The American Red Cross!!!
