Tracy Lawrence Returns Home to Raise Money

Tracy Lawrence has returned to Foreman, Ark., for his Homecoming Concert every year for the past 15 years. He'll do the same again Saturday, June 6, with several of his friends to raise money for the Foreman community. Overall, he's raised more than $1 million for educational opportunities for children in his community and surrounding ones.

The final year for the event will include a star-studded lineup with Lawrence, Tracy Byrd, Richie McDonald, Neil McCoy, Clay Walker and Three Doors Down. Past appearances from Kenny Chesney, Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin and Mark Chesnutt have made the event a special one for the Foreman community.

"We've had a great time putting on the Homecoming Concerts and the return, to actually see how our efforts have contributed to the strength and education of a new generation, has been so gratifying," Lawrence said in a statement. "Unfortunately, we've run our course with this particular event and the production costs have moved us to seek other alternatives that will benefit the community in the long run. We're going to regroup to explore more cost-effective ways to raise funds for the kids."

He established the Tracy Lawrence Foundation in 1993 and has raised money through various events to change the way people in the commmunity live.
