Tim Mcgraw Raises Over $43,000 For The American Red CrossAmerican Red Cross Tour Proceeds Benefit Local Red Cross Chapters Across America Tim McGraw and the American Red Cross today announced that proceeds from the tour, "Tim McGraw and The Dance Hall Doctors' ONE BAND SHOW" totaling $43,000 will be donated to the Red Cross chapters in cities along the band's March – June tour. Funds were raised locally in each tour market from ticket sales and selected tour merchandise. The benefiting chapters will use the donation to promote awareness, emergency preparedness and disaster relief in their communities.  This donation comes at a time of serious need for the Red Cross. The Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to respond immediately to disasters nationwide providing shelter, food, water and comfort to victims, is at a critical low. The organization has spent more to provide relief in the past year than it has raised in donations. "We are living in a time where people need to stick together and help one another," said McGraw. "The Red Cross provides a critical role in disaster response in this country. This donation is one way that we can help ensure that individuals and families get the help they need when disaster strikes. I hope that our fans will also be touched by the good work of the Red Cross and be inspired to support the organization's work in whatever way they can." "Tim McGraw's generosity is heartwarming," said Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross. "Tim McGraw and the Red Cross make great music!"
