Tim and Faith Show Now a Benefit Concert

7/24/2007 Stephen L. Betts Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have announced that their appearance in Biloxi, Mississippi on Friday (7/27) will be a benefit concert to assist organizations and individuals who are still in need of goods, services and finances due to the continued devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. One hundred percent of the net concert proceeds will go to their Neighbors Keeper Foundation to support these efforts. "It is a long term, continuing struggle for so many people in the region," Tim and Faith said, through their spokesperson. "This year we are focusing attention on the needs of Mississippi." Faith is a native of Star, Mississippi. Last year, the couple's Neighbor’s Keeper Foundation held a benefit concert in New Orleans, Louisiana, and marked the return of the concert industry to the city. As a result of the concert proceeds and other donations, Neighbor’s Keeper Foundation has donated one million dollars directly to the Community Initiative Foundation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Community Initiative Foundation runs children and young adult art therapy programs at the Renaissance Camp, the largest trailer city in Baton Rouge.
