Tickets for Reba and Blake Shelton’s May 26 Tornado Relief Concert in Durant, Oklahoma went on sale this morning and promptly sold out in less than two hours. As a result, a second show has been added at the Choctaw Casino Resort for 7:30 pm Wednesday, May 25. Tickets went on sale at 4 pm today (5/6) and are available by calling 800-555-3737 or visiting www.choctawcasinos.com
The concerts are being presented in partnership with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and proceeds will go to help the relief effort. Both Shelton and Reba are Oklahoma natives and hail from towns neighboring the devastated areas.
“A lot of people lost a great deal in this disaster and it’s particularly close to us because we both consider Oklahoma home,” says Reba. “We wanted to do something and let the people in Oklahoma know that we love them and we’re praying for them during this difficult tragedy.”
“Oklahoma defines who I am and seeing the effects this disaster has had on my neighbors, I knew I had to do something,” says Shelton. “Reba and I have a lot of love for this state and we wanted to do what we can to help. This place is my home and these people are family to us.”
In addition to the concert proceeds, The mGive Foundation has a mobile fundraising campaign that is collecting donations. Mobile users can text “OKGIVE” to 27722 to make a one time $10 contribution.
