Presenting sponsors Explore Asheville and the Tourism Development Authority have pledged $1 million towards the cause, as confirmed by Vic Isley, President, and CEO of the organizations.

Additionally, various other concerts and fundraisers have emerged across the state in support of the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. Notably, a fundraiser featuring Sturgill Simpson is set to take place at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary on October 21. This event was organized following the cancellation of Simpson's performance in Asheville due to the impact of Helene.
