Nashville Rising Donations Crest at $2.2 Million
It's a pleasure doing business with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Now that the $2.2 million in ticket sales were all added up, the proceeds can be donated to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to help flood victims still trying to overcome the tragedy that hit back in May. (You can make that number even higher by grabbing some post-concert merch like T-shirts and posters.) So the Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery show was more than just a fun night full of country's best and brightest stars, including Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift. It was a no-brainer way for celebs and fans to make sure Music City gets back on its feet. "We cannot thank Faith Hill and Tim McGraw enough for stepping up and marshalling the gifts of all who were both onstage and back stage during this once-in-a lifetime event," said Ellen Lehman, the head of the organization.

I would love to see a video of this concert. I would buy a cd or the music on Itunes. Could raise even more $$
Sarah says:
That’s so awesome! They all did a great job & all of that will be very helpful for the people affected by the floods! & I agree, Tanya! They should release the concert on DVD or CD & raise even more money for flood relief! I would certainly buy one!

I was at the concert, what a fantastic night! I felt honored to be there.
Peacock Queen says:
Thank God for stars like Tim and Faith. They use their celebrity to go out and help people when the rest of the country doesn’t seem to care. Did Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan show up to help? I don’t think so. One is too busy creating drama for herself and the other is out capitalizing on the emotions of young girls by advertising for a new BFF on an all-time low television show.
