Gary Dunlap+FollowAustin’s $8.5M night of hope after floodsAustin just showed what community power looks like—over 14,000 people packed the Moody Center, raising a staggering $8.5 million to help Central Texas rebuild after the devastating July 4th floods. The night was a mix of raw emotion and Texas pride, with country stars like Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum leading heartfelt tributes and a candlelight vigil honoring the 27 Camp Mystic campers lost. Local icons and national names urged everyone to pitch in, and the response was overwhelming.
