Alejandro Fernández to Donate Concert Proceeds to Texas Flood Victims: ‘I’m Absolutely Heartbroken’
Alejandro Fernandez will donate his concert proceeds to Texas flood victims.
Heavy rain on Friday (July 4) that led to flash flooding has killed at least 116 people, according to CNN, after the Guadalupe River surged by more than 20 feet leading to catastrophic damage primarily affecting the South-Central Texas region. According to a press release, a portion of the revenue from these shows — taking place Sept. 6-7 at Dickies Arena (Fort Worth) and UTEP Don Haskins Center (El Paso) — will be donated to Catholic Charities Archdiocese of San Antonio, Inc., a nonprofit organization providing assistance and emergency shelter to communities affected by the floods, and will be responsible for distributing the collected funds to families in need. Fernández joins a number of artists — including Shakira, Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey — who have expressed support to those affected by the devastating floods, as responders continue search-and-rescue efforts across the impacted areas in Texas.
