Carolina Strong: Country Music Stars Come to Charlotte for Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts

Hurricane Helene brought devastation to the Carolinas in late September, specifically the western part of the states. The mountain towns of North Carolina were destroyed by the storm, and many will never be the same. 

The silver lining to the destruction lies with how quick neighbors in the Tar Heel State were to help each other. One of these efforts comes from the biggest names in country music coming together to form the Concert for Carolina.  

To support those impacted by Hurricane Helene, Northwood Ravin collected donations for Operation Airdrop in the lobbies of all North Carolina properties and at the corporate office. Northwood Ravin is also giving away two tickets to Concert for Carolina; you can enter the giveaway at The Lodges at Fort Mill website. 

Concert for Carolina will take place on October 26, 2024, at Bank of America in Charlotte. Headliners include Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Bailey Zimmerman. Combs and Church are Western North Carolina natives, and both attended Appalachian State University in Boone, one of the many towns impacted by the storm.  

Tepper Sports & Entertainment donated Bank of America Stadium for the concert and all proceeds from the concert will support relief efforts in the Carolina area. Concert for Carolina supports Chief Cares, Manna Foodbank, Second Harvest Foodbank NWNC and Samaritan’s Purse.  

Northwood Ravin encourages all who can to donate time, goods or money to help those impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.
