GREENSBORO, N.C. — Relief has come in a number of ways since Helene wrecked parts of our state.
People have sent tons of supplies to mountain towns and cities.
Others have taken heavy equipment out west to clear debris.
What comes next could set American history.
The relief concert in Charlotte is expected to be one of the biggest relief concerts ever. WFMY News 2's Nixon Norman heard from the Triad group putting it on and a Greensboro couple going.
The Mocksville company, Concert Stuff Group, said the event is set to raise tens of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of people are expected to be in attendance.
Concert Stuff Group has been tasked with putting together and organizing the concert.
Not long after Hurricane Helene hit the western part of the state, country music star Luke Combs made a call to that entertainment company based right here in the Triad.
"It wasn't a question of should we help or could we help, it was a question of how do we help and how do we help the most?" Chief Strategy Officer with Concert Stuff Group, Michael Brammer said.
Brammer said not a single penny will be going back to the company, instead it will go to those who need it most right now.
"Every cent that we can raise for the state of North Carolina is going to the people who need it," Brammer said.
It's a gesture that's moved one Greensboro couple, Maury and Carey Kennedy. The two met at App State, got married, and eventually had two son's that would also attend App State.
"We have a son who is in school in Boone who was displaced you know, for two or three weeks because the storm, so this thing hits home in a lot of different ways for us," Maury Kennedy said.
The two feel so connected to the mountains of western North Carolina that they've volunteered three times with Samaritan's Purse.
"It's almost something that's hard to wrap your mind around and you come back down the mountain and you don't even really understand it," Maury Kennedy said.
"I don't want those people in the mountains to think we have forgotten about them, I know this is gonna take a very, very long time for them to get back to any sense of normalcy so, I really hope that the money raised from this awesome is really gonna help with that down the road," Carey Kennedy said.
86,000 tickets have been sold, tens of millions of dollars are expected to be raised, "this will go down in the history books as one of the largest benefit shows ever," Brammer said.
Brammer said after looking at the stats, this will be the biggest charity event to take place in North Carolina and possibly the country.
People in certain areas including the Triad are able to get free tickets to stream the event.
