Morgan Wallen's sold-out acoustic benefit for flood victims in Humphrey's County, Tennessee held on Wednesday (September 8th) in Nashville raised over $725,000. The funds were donated to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and the Tennessee Emergency Response Fund.
Morgan was joined by his friends including Hardy, Dierks Bentley, Cole Swindell, Lainey Wilson, Ernest, Ben Burgess, Lathan Warlick, and Jared Mullins with surprise guest Breland.
Before presenting a check to a representative with The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee Morgan told the crowd, “Most of you probably know that I’m a Tennessee boy. I was born and raised in Tennessee and I’m proud of it. The people here mean so much to me and I was watching the news and reading some articles and I read some stories that really touched my heart and made me feel like it could’ve been my hometown. I wanted to do something about it… Just seeing people hurtin’ man, nobody likes to see that and we’re going to try to do something about it tonight.”
Direct donations to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and the Tennessee Emergency Response Fund may still be made online at cfmt.org.
