As the first anniversary of Hurricane Ian approaches, The Charity Pros have announced their “Hurricane Heroes” concert event for October 7th at Hammond Stadium in Ft. Myers. The concert will feature superstar rock band Matchbox Twenty and local favorite Sheena Brook.
The massive storm destroyed over 5000 homes, wiped out hundreds of businesses, including over 30 Live Music Venues, and severely damaged tens of thousands of homes.
Band Matchbox Twenty will headline the event. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and four-time Grammy winner Don Felder, formerly of the Eagles for over 27 years, will also be taking the stage.
“This event will bring the community together to help honor Heroes of Hurricane Ian,” says Megan Maloney, founder of the Charity Pros. “In addition to the heroism of our brave first responders saving the lives of thousands of people and animals, there are so many incredible stories of regular folks, unsung Heroes, that have exhibited incredible acts of humanity, kindness, and generosity over this past year,” explains Megan.
SWFL Rock band Red Hannah will kick off their All-star set, featuring special appearances by local professional musicians Matty Jollie, Sheena Brook, and more surprises. Proceeds from this special event will help support Music Alive SWFL, the Tabarrini Children’s Outreach Foundation, and the Charity Pros “Megan’s Wish” program.
“You don’t want to miss this incredible show; it will be a very special tribute to many that have sacrificed and suffered from this storm,” says Brad Maloney, VP of Operations and Events for the Charity Pros. “It has been many years since there has been a concert on the field at Hammond Stadium; we are very proud to be working together with the Mighty Mussels organization and Lee County Parks and Recreation, to bring this show to the community for a great cause.”
