Reba Mcentire to Receive Music Heals Golden Ukulele Award on May 20
reba mcentire will receive Musicians On Call’s Music Heals Golden Ukulele Award on May 20 in Nashville. The honor lands at the organization’s largest-ever fundraiser, putting her fundraising work and patient-focused support at the center of a night built around live performances.
Musicians On Call says its volunteers have played for more than one million individuals in healthcare facilities nationwide. The group says it is on a mission to reach millions more, and McEntire is being recognized for fundraising campaigns and involvement in programs that support patients and healthcare professionals.
The Pinnacle in Nashville
The award will be presented at The Pinnacle, where Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, and Trisha Yearwood are set to perform. Martina McBride is scheduled to make a special appearance to help honor McEntire, turning the fundraiser into a compact industry salute rather than a standard tribute night.
That lineup matters because the event is not just about one honoree. Musicians On Call is pairing McEntire’s recognition with a broader show of support for its work, and the organization’s own message calls her leadership and dedication part of how it has advanced its mission.
Music Heals Live in Nashville
The Instagram announcement framed the night as “Music Heals Live!” and said the organization was celebrating the legendary @reba, along with Mitch Glazier and MOC volunteers Daisy Perez, Dianna Perez, Jeff Scornavacca, Keenan Kamae and Stan Garrison. McEntire has been making music for 50 years, so the award doubles as a career marker and a philanthropic one.
For readers following McEntire’s public profile, the signal is simple: this is an honors list that rewards giving as much as visibility. The May 20 fundraiser gives Musicians On Call a high-profile platform in Nashville, and it gives McEntire another formal nod for work that reaches patients and healthcare professionals, not just concert crowds.
The practical takeaway is straightforward for anyone tracking the event: the honor is set for May 20 at The Pinnacle in Nashville, and the night’s weight comes from who is appearing onstage as much as who is being recognized. Brooks, Gill, Yearwood, and McBride make it the kind of fundraiser that can convert attention into support for Musicians On Call’s hospital music programs.
