CONCERT FOR CAROLINA

CHARLOTTE HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF CONCERT: OCTOBER 26-2024

 

Some of North Carolina's biggest music stars are joining forces for a benefit concert in Charlotte to support North Carolina communities affected by Hurricane Helene with all proceeds benefiting western North Carolina communities.

 

Eric Church, Luke Combs, Billy Strings, and James Taylor will headline a special "Concert for Carolina" on Saturday, October 26t, at Bank of America Stadium, located at 800 S Mint Street in Charlotte. Additional performers include Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, and Bailey Zimmerman.

 

 

The concert is presented by Explore Asheville, with all proceeds going toward Hurricane Helene relief efforts in western North Carolina. ESPN's Marty Smith and Barstool Sports' Caleb Pressley will co-host the concert.

 

Proceeds from Concert for Carolinas will be divided equally between Luke Combs’ and Eric Church’s charitable foundations. Eric Church also recently donated the publishing rights to his new song "Darkest Hour" to North Carolina’s Hurricane Helene recovery efforts. Luke Combs’ share of the proceeds will support organizations like Samaritan's Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC. Eric Church's share of the proceeds will go to support his Chief Cares Foundation.

 

Tickets for the "Concert for Carolina" will be available for purchase starting Thursday, October 10th at 10:00 am. 

 

North Carolina Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund supports non-profit community organizations in North Carolina providing vital services to meet the needs of affected communities in the aftermath of a disaster. If you are not close to Charlotte and can't attend the concert, you can still help. You can donate here to help Hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina.

HURRICANE HELENE PRAYER

God of grace and compassion, 

In these overwhelming moments of loss and devastation, we come to you with weary hearts that are both heavy and hopeful. We hold in our prayers and hearts all those impacted by the hurricanes, conflicts, and other disasters, and we implore for your mercy, peace, and healing to embrace our siblings all over the world. By your grace, bring comfort to those who are grieving, give strength to the exhausted, and provide shelter for those who have lost everything.

May your Spirit move in this, your creation, bringing peace amid the turmoil, and breathing hope into the places that feel broken. May your Spirit continue to be the quiet but constant reassurance that you are with your children and creation, even in the darkest moments, guiding us toward healing and restoration.

As we continue to see the news, we lift up the brave souls who are working tirelessly to rescue and assist. Give strength and wisdom for the tasks ahead. And stir our hearts, dear God, to step in with compassion, helping our neighbors, near and far, with kindness, love, and compassion.

In all of these disasters, we place our trust in your everlasting promises of your presence and care. Restore what has been shattered and lead us toward a path of renovation, peace, healing, and the renewing power of your always present Spirit.

We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

-Rev. Edwin González-Castillo, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Director

This seems like a great idea and I hope that plenty of money will be raised for this worthy cause!

Brian England hi Brian. I do, as well. One of my contractors was there last week helping to clean out a community center to convert it to a shelter and what he was telling me about the conditions in western NC made the hair on the neck of my back stand up. Just horrid!

Hi Nina,

Definitely a great cause, but they may have to do another one just for Milton

Jeffrey Richman hi Jeffrey... agreed. This is being coordinated by NC musical artists and Asheville. Florida will need to get their own locals to do the same.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 I had no idea, Ed, that you had family in the Ashville area... it was hit soooo hard it's hard to comprehend.  I'll keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX hi Dorie... this has been such a community effort. The owner of the Panthers immediately said yes when asked of Bank of America stadium could serve as the venue. There's so much need out there, hopefully those who can't attend will be able to make a donation.

Nina it is great to see the number of people stepping up to the plate to raise money for those who have lost much if not all of what they owned.  It is shameful that the present administration is quick to provide help for other nations, and people here illegally, but slow to provide for its own.

Oct 10, 2024 03:59 PM
Nina Hollander, Broker

George Souto good morning, George... you'll get no argument from me on that score! And people all over the Charlotte region are stepping up like crazy to help our neighbors to the west of us.

Hi Nina. What a great cause.  I actually got to meet one of the band members from Eric Church last year on the trip back from Washington, my dad's 65th high school reunion.  He was very nice and humble.  I hope this raises a lot of money for the ones that need help.  Every little bit helps in these situations.

Brenda J. Andrew hi Brenda... you are so right... every little bit helps and it seems like everyone in Charlotte is doing their little bit to help.

I am so saddened by what Helene did to western North Carolina - it has always been a tough part of the country already for many who live there and now it is so much harder.  It is truly tragic 

Oct 14, 2024 06:53 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Lise Howe it's heartbreaking, Lise. We have 120+ confirmed deaths and many still missing. One family lost 11 members in a mud slide. I've spoken with people who were out there last week helping clear... grown men were crying at what they saw.
