Benefit News: Josh Turner Raises $150K For Tornado Ravaged Town

July 21, 2011/by Sarah Skates

Josh Turner with UMG's Royce Risser, Joe Putnam, and fans at the Ringgold fundraiser.


Josh Turner’s recent benefit in Ringgold, GA brought in over $150,000 for the community devastated on April 27 by an EF-4 tornado. Despite pouring rain, he helped raise the spirits of area residents. All proceeds from the US101 sponsored event will be split evenly between the Ringgold Band and the Ringgold athletic fund. The storm destroyed about 50% of the town’s businesses, many homes and places of worship. Ringgold High School and Ringgold Middle School both suffered major damage. Sadly, nine lives were lost.

James Otto’s Ottomaniacs came together to raise $4,000 for flood victims in Minot, ND as a result of his live streaming benefit concert on StageIt.com. Total proceeds from tips and ticket sales totaled $2,000, and one anonymous fan generously matched that amount bringing the total donation to $4,000. The benefit was part of the series Otto began in early June called “Thirsty Thursdays” in which he performs live streaming shows on StageIt.com from his home studio.
