Monday night (July 22), Dierks Bentley raised good times and plenty of cash for the families of the firefighters who lost their lives in the Arizona wildfires earlier this month through his special benefit concert in the singer's home-state. Over $476,000 was raised during Bentley's Country Cares Concert that took place in Prescott Valley, AZ at Tim's Toyota Center. Also featured on the night's lineup were fellow stars Randy Houser, David Nail and The Band Perry.
In addition to the fans who packed the house for the event, family members of the 19 firefighters and the sole surviving firefighter were also in attendance at the emotional, yet celebratory, night of music. Bentley honored the fallen firefighters with a photo tribute during his first-ever performance of brand new song "Here On Earth" and kicked off a special version of "Home" with a bagpipe intro by the Rural Metro Pipe and Drum Corp.
All money raised from the event will go to the United Phoenix Firefighters Charities who will directly distribute to the families of the 19 fallen firefighters. For more information, visit www.dierks.com.
