The Carolina Panthers’ owners, David and Nicole Tepper, recently hosted a remarkable event that raised $24 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts in North Carolina. The show took place at Bank of America Stadium, which the Teppers generously made available for the occasion.
Over 80,000 attendees enjoyed performances from prominent country music artists, including Luke Combs, a lifelong Panthers fan who played a key role in organizing the event. The concert sold out within just 12 hours, showcasing the community’s eagerness to support those affected by the hurricane. Alongside Combs, other notable performers included Eric Church, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, and Keith Urban.
The funds raised during the event were divided between charities selected by Combs and Church, with Combs directing his share to organizations like Samaritan’s Purse and Manna Food Bank, while Church’s contributions went to his Chief Cares Foundation.
Hurricane Helene had a devastating impact on North Carolina, causing severe flooding and landslides. The relief funds will assist in providing vital support to those affected by the storm, demonstrating the power of community and collaboration in times of need.

“Wait, David Tepper has a heart? I thought he was just super impatient,” Tim posted.
“Okay, Tepper gets a few points. Shad Khan is now in firm possession of the lead in the ‘Worst Owner in the League’ title,” Jeremy H. joked.
“Wholesome NFL moment,” NBA slime mentioned.
