John Nix Arledge of musicrow.com announced that George Strait and longtime Vaqueros del Mar partner, Tom Cusick, are organizing a special benefit dinner and concert in Boerne, Texas in response to the recent Hill Country flooding. “Strait To The Heart” will take place on July 27 at Estancia at Thunder Valley indoor arena.
“The event will be limited to 1,000 guests with tickets and tables available for purchase beginning at $1,000. Donations will be made to 501c3 Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund and distributed to affected families and established Hill Country funds. Complimentary tickets will be provided to local first-responders,” Arledge wrote. If filled, the benefit will garner $1M in immediate support.
In the article, Strait was quoted as saying, “The destruction and loss in our community from the recent flood is hard to wrap your head around. Our hearts and prayers are with you all. The goal with this event is to raise meaningful, immediate support that can be put directly into the hands of flood victims without delay, while also honoring the first responders that work tirelessly to save lives. Special thanks to our friends and fellow troubadours—William Beckman, Ray Benson, Wade Bowen, Dean Dillon, Riley Green, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Kyle Park, Hudson Westbrook and members of my Ace in the Hole Band— for joining me on stage to lend their talent and their hearts to this mission.”
