Biz Bites: Music Contributions

A sold-out concert at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater raised nearly $100,000 for relief efforts in parts of Western North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The “From Wilmington, With Love” concert, featuring Ben Folds and musicians from the North Carolina mountains region, took place Oct. 29 and was organized by the city of Wilmington with support from Live Nation, the Wilmington Arts Council, and the N.C. Music Office.

“We had a significant storm in 2018 called Florence, which at that time was the costliest storm in North Carolina history. Helene has bypassed that three times,” Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo said in a video short about the concert.

Proceeds went to the N.C. Disaster Relief Fund, which city officials pointed people to  for direct donations.
