Many tornado victims still need help, and organizers of a free benefit concert say they hope a little music will bring in more relief money.
Watch the YouTube performance from a local NC artist's dedication to those affected by the tornadoes.
An impressive lineup of bands begin performing at 5 p.m. Friday at the Raleigh Amphitheater. While admission is free, people who come to watch are asked to give what they can.
"All the money is going to four local charities, including Helping Hand Mission, Interfaith Food Shuttle and a couple of others," said Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker when he announced the concert last month. "It's all going to help people. None of its going to the administration. It will be 100 percent directly to people who need help, particularly for food, clothing, things like that."
Meeker said the event is called Rise up Raleigh, and that's exactly what he says he hopes people will do.
"We're asking people to donate $20 if they can, up to $100 if you are able to do that and then we'll easily raise our $100,000 goal," said Meeker.
