In a heartfelt response to the devastating floods that recently tore through Central Texas, country music legend George Strait has announced a special fundraising event titled “Strait to the Heart.” Set for July 27 in Boerne, Texas, the evening promises music, compassion, and community — all to support those affected by the tragedy.
The event, described as an “intimate donor dinner and concert,” will feature performances by Strait and his Ace in the Hole Band, along with special guests including William Beckmann, Ray Benson, and Wade Bowen. Donations will be directed through the Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund, ensuring immediate support reaches victims and their families.
Those interested in attending are encouraged to email Vaquerosdm@gmail.com for details. The exact location and number of tickets remain undisclosed, emphasizing the private and focused nature of the evening.
Strait shared the following in his announcement:
“The destruction and loss in our community from the recent floods is hard to wrap your head around. Our hearts and prayers are with you all. The goal with this event is to raise meaningful, immediate support that can be put directly into the hands of flood victims without delay, while also honoring the first responders that work tirelessly to save lives.”
The floods, which began July 4 in Kerr County, have become one of the deadliest in Texas history, claiming at least 120 lives, including 36 children, and leaving more than 170 people missing. Communities are still reeling, with homes destroyed and families displaced.
With compassion leading the way, “Strait to the Heart” isn’t just a concert—it’s a symbol of hope and resilience, led by one of Texas’ most cherished voices
