News > Recap: Charleston Pour House Raises over $30,000 for Mother Emanuel Hope Fund

On June 17th the city of Charleston suffered an unimaginable tragedy when a lone-shooter took the lives of nine individuals inside the Mother Emanuel AME Church. Despite the horrors of the attack, the Charleston community immediately banded together and organized numerous events in an effort to gather money as well as restore faith in the city.

On Tuesday, June 23rd, The Charleston Pour House hosted “Don’t Tell Me This Town Ain’t Got No Heart” a benefit concert with 100% of the proceeds going to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund. Within mere hours of the show’s announcement, all 800 available tickets were completely sold out! In response to the massive ticket sales, the Pour House decided to live-stream the event online where over 1,800 people tuned in to watch from around the globe.
