TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) — In the wake of the April tornadoes that swept across northeast Mississippi, a group of citizens came together to host a benefit concert for the tornado relief efforts.

Band Together was held June 5 at Fairpark in downtown Tupelo.

Musicians and volunteers donated their time and talents for the evening for very little expenses.

Today, the organizers announced just how successful the benefit concert was, raising more than $48,000 for tornado relief efforts

“The city just really, I think, came together in a huge way,” Event Organizer Meredith Martin said. “Bigger than any of us anticipated. It was just such a fun event that everyone could just lift their spirits and look forward to.”

Organizers would like to thank everyone who made the night possible and successful.
