Country singer Tracy Lawrence will play his final annual charity Homecoming Concert on Saturday, June 6, at Foreman Memorial Stadium, in Foreman, Arkansas.
Joining Lawrence for the concert, which has raised more than $1,000,000 over the last 15 years, will be Tracy Byrd, Richie McDonald, Neal McCoy, Clay Walker, 3 Doors Down and Zona Jones.
“We’ve had a great time putting on the Homecoming Concerts and the return, to actually see how our efforts have contributed to the strength and education of a new generation, has been so gratifying,” said Lawrence. “Unfortunately, we’ve run our course with this particular event and the production costs have moved us to seek out other alternatives that will benefit the community in the long run. We’re going to regroup to explore more cost-effective ways to raise funds for the kids.”
Proceeds from the Tracy Lawrence Homecoming Concert will benefit the Tracy Lawrence Foundation. Established by Lawrence in 1993, the foundation has raised monies through various fundraising events and performances to improve the quality of life for residents in over 35 communities and assisted and enhanced civic group activities in and around Foreman.
“We wanted to be able to do things for the school and for the community that would help the town grow,” he said. “We’ve achieved and exceeded a number of our goals and plan to continue to raise funds and awareness for important causes that affect us all.”
Tickets to the concert are between $15 and $25, and are available from Bruton’s Western Store, Broken Bow, OK; Corner Pharmacy, Ashdown, AR; Cavander’s Boot City, Texarkana, TX; Tracy Lawrence Fund Office, Foreman, AR; or by calling 870-542-7557.
