The Marshall Fire has since been recorded as the most destructive fire in Colorado's history.

While Governor Polis and his administration have been working closely with local, state, and federal agencies to provide much-needed relief for all those impacted by the Marshall Fire, this benefit concert will hopefully pose as a major. helping hand for those who are still healing and building back from this disruptive, destructive fire.

“Music itself can be healing, and the funds raised by this event will go a long way toward helping Coloradans impacted by the Marshall Fire to rebuild their lives and communities,” Gov. Polis said in the press release.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering together with AEG, Community Foundation of Boulder, and Colorado creatives whose talents serve as a powerful balm during a difficult time. If you’re able to donate to help our friends and neighbors who need our support now more than ever, this is a great opportunity to pay it forward while enjoying your favorite bands.”

Throughout the concert, virtual attendees will get the opportunity to jam out and enjoy some of Colorado's, as well as the country's most talented musical artists.

The best part is, all proceeds collected from ticket sales will go directly to helping Marshall Fire survivors through the Community Foundation of Boulder County’s website.
