Named in reference to McBryde\u2019s \u201cLight On In The Kitchen,\u201d a musical tapestry inspired by and in honor of her mother and her mother\u2019s two sisters, Ashley McBryde\u2019s Light On Fund exists to support causes close to McBryde\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>Targeting areas including advocacy for the mental health of veterans, rehabilitation resources for the creative community, helping children in the foster care system, championing ASL interpretation at live music events, and much more, the fund will announce a new charitable focus each quarter starting in 2026 and onward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeaving the light on for someone is the same as telling them you love them where I\u2019m from,\u201d McBryde shares. \u201cFolks are suffering in ways we\u2019ll never see or know about, and the same way I want someone to come to my show and know that for 90 minutes, they\u2019ve got a safe haven, we hope the Light On Fund will be a place of support, care, and nurturing for causes that have touched my life and my history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe women in my family have led by generous and humble example, living out that the most important gestures are the ones from one heart to another,\u201d she continues. \u201cWith the establishment of the Light On Fund, I hope that we\u2019re letting people know that we see them and we care. Wherever they may be or may end up on life\u2019s journey, we\u2019ll leave a light on for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The inspiration for the fund stems from the kindness of McBryde\u2019s mom, Martha, who recently auctioned off one of Ashley\u2019s childhood dresses to give back to her local foster care system in Arkansas. McBryde launches her Light On Fund by personally matching the amount raised from that sale.<\/p>\n<p>To support the fund, fans can buy the official Ashley McBryde\u2019s Light On Fund hat, with all proceeds going directly to the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley McBryde\u2019s Light On Fund is run through the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DRxFMAzjnur\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source themusicuniverse.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McBryde launches the Light on Fund On this Giving Tuesday, and her mother Martha\u2019s birthday, Ashley McBryde announces her Light On Fund.
