ANNA WILSON AND MISSISSIPPI MASS CHOIR PERFORM AT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY’S 25th ANIVERSAY CARTER WORK PROJECT

Biloxi, MS (May 12, 2008) – Anna Wilson performed during the Opening Ceremony of the 25th Anniversary Jimmy& Rosalynn Carter Work Project last night at Yankie Stadium in Biloxi. Wilson was accompanied by the award-winning Mississippi Mass Choir.

As part of the ceremony, country music stars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood introduced President Carter and his wife Rosalynn. Both provided moving speeches.

Today Wilson and her husband, songwriter Monty Powell, will join the Carters, Brooks and Yearwood in Pascagoula, Mississippi to construct one of the 108 houses that will be completed as part of this week-long build event. The purpose of this project is to refocus attention on Habitat’s continuing recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast.

Wilson has a multi-year relationship with Habitat for Humanity. Her Habitat inspired-single, “A House, A Home,” which she performed last night, was recently featured in the charity’s national public service announcements, receiving $4.2 million in free television and radio advertising. The song was first written and performed as part of the Whirlpool Building Blocks project hosted by Habitat’s Nashville affiliate in 2006. It is available for purchase exclusively through iTunes with proceeds benefitting Habitat’s work to build affordable homes for purchase by families in need.
