Lee Brice Helps Raise Nearly $700K at Exclusive Capital Region Event

Country superstar Lee Brice helped create a little magic in the Capital Region this week, and the amount raised for an incredible cause is absolutely staggering!

We caught up with Brad Gardner from local country band Big Sky Country on Friday morning. Brad also serves on the board of Folds of Honor New York and helped organize the exclusive event featuring Lee Brice.

According to Brad, the evening raised about $700,000!

An Intimate Night with Lee Brice

The annual fundraiser is an exclusive event limited to just a few hundred guests, including Gold Star mothers and family members of fallen military heroes.

While we're keeping the exact location private, the photos tell quite a story...

An intimate country concert, beautiful scenery, an American flag overlooking the stage, and an incredible fireworks display made for a memorable evening.

Brad couldn't say enough wonderful things about Lee Brice, describing the country superstar as down-to-earth, authentic, and genuinely invested in the evening's mission.

A Staggering Amount for an Incredible Cause

Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders.

Brad quickly pointed out the generous sponsors and supporters who helped make the event such an enormous success.

He even admitted that raising about $700,000 this year sets a high bar for future events, but one they're surely willing to try to beat again next year.

A Night to Remember

Between the music, the generosity, and the opportunity to honor families who have sacrificed so much, this was clearly about much more than a concert.

Congratulations to Brad, the entire Folds of Honor New York team, Lee Brice, and everyone who helped make the evening such a tremendous success.
