Kellie Pickler to Perform Two Opry Shows to Benefit Hurricane Relief

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | October 2, 2018

North Carolina native Kellie Pickler will give her home state a welcome monetary boost when she teams with the Grand Ole Opry on Oct. 6 for two shows to benefit those affected by Hurricane Florence.

When fans order tickets using the code HCRELIEF5, $5 from every ticket sold will be donated to the American Red Cross to assist those who have been affected by Hurricane Florence, which hit the Carolinas in September.

“I’m so thankful to the Grand Ole Opry and the American Red Cross for the assistance they are wanting to provide to the wonderful people from my home state of North Carolina,” says Kellie. “The devastation from Hurricane Florence continues to this day in small towns just like the one I call home. They will need our help for a long, long time to come.”

Mason Ramsey, The Steel Woods, Adam Doleac and John Berry will also perform during both Opry showcases on Oct. 6.
