Audacy's Country Concert Benefits Wounded Warrior Project

On Thursday Audacy rounded up HARDY, Brian Kelley, Ashley McBryde, Michael Ray, Cole Swindell and Hailey Whitters for its annual Country music concert Stars and Strings at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. Hosted by KISS Country 99.9 (WKIS-FM) as a part of Audacy’s I’m Listening mental health initiative, proceeds from the show benefited Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP).

“Last night was a testament to the declarations of pride and solidarity embedded within Country music,” said Tim Roberts, Country Format Vice President, Audacy. “Stars and Strings and Audacy have long supported Wounded Warrior Project, and it was our honor to bring together some of Country’s biggest names to support the life-saving programs Wounded Warrior Project provides for our nation’s heroes.”

Before the show, attendees headed to Hard Rock Cafe for the free pre-party, hosted by Audacy’s nationally syndicated Rob + Holly Show, with performances by Hailey Whitters, George Birge and Florida’s own Sammy Arriaga.

WWP offers innovative and accessible no-cost mental health programs and services that address invisible wounds, bridge gaps in care, and help warriors and their families build resilience. Stars and Strings benefits WWP programs like Warrior Care Network, a partnership that provides veterans with improved access to personalized, accelerated treatment for mental and brain injuries alongside other veterans in a supportive peer setting.

Stars and Strings is one of the events supporting I’m Listening, Audacy's ongoing commitment to mental health conversations, and follows the 10th annual sold-out We Can Survive concert, which benefited the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
