More than $210,000 has been raised so far for flood relief from last night’s Appalachia Rising Above Flood Relief Concert Telethon at the Mountain Arts Center.
The event was sponsored by WYMT and the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky to support families, farms, and businesses impacted by the floods.
It was a rousing night of music from localvand national artists coming home together to celebrate Kentucky’s resilience and raise money for those who need help.
The money came from a silent auction as well as individual donations, including two anonymous donations of $25,000 and $30,000.
