CMT has teamed up with United Way for a hurricane relief benefit concert.
In the wake of Helene and Milton’s devastating hurricanes, countless celebrities have been doing what they can to give back to the communities struck by the recent Hurricanes.
For example, Morgan Wallen has organized multiple food drives on different occasions, Jason Aldean has made a sizable donation, and Lainey Wilson teamed up with ONEFlight to bring essential items to people in need.
Most notably, Eric Church and Luke Combs created a benefit show, Concert for Carolina, that raised over $24 million.
