Thomas Rhett raised over $250,000 during his first-ever charity concert event Thomas Rhett & Friends on Tuesday (Oct. 4). Held at The Old School just outside of Nashville, the concert and dinner event benefited the organization 147 Million Orphans.

Guest performers included Dierks Bentley, Russell Dickerson, Walker Hayes and Shane McAnally as well as a surprise performance from Florida Georgia Line.

Guests enjoyed a farm-to-table dinner, limited edition merchandise, and a post-show s’more roasting with Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren.

“Last night was an unreal experience for me and Lauren, to see our hometown, as well as people from all over the country, coming together to support something that’s so important to us,” said Thomas Rhett. “Tuesday nights are like Saturday nights to artists, so I want to be sure to thank Dierks, Brian and Tyler, Shane, Walker and Russell for giving up part of their weekends to make it such a special night, and help us raise money and awareness for this amazing cause.”
