HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH GIVE BACK
WITH THREE-NIGHT HOMECOMING U.S. FINALE IN COLUMBIA, S.C.
As the North American leg of the highly-successful Group Therapy Tour came to a close in the birthplace of Hootie & the Blowfish, the GRAMMY Award-winning band used their three-night stand for good in partnership with Central Carolina Community Foundation. “HootieGives,” a Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation initiative, provided a unique focus during each of the three shows at Columbia’s Colonial Life Arena.
Wednesday, Sept. 11 2019, the foundation chose to benefit military personnel and first responders via the 9/11 Remembrance Foundation of South Carolina, with a Thursday, Sept. 12 school supply drive aiding the Richland County Public Education Partners & SC for Ed and a Friday, Sept. 13 food drive supporting the Harvest Hope Food Bank. Hootie & the Blowfish, known for making charitable giving a priority throughout their career via the Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation, helped the 9/11 Remembrance Foundation of South Carolina raise over $3,000 for military service members and first responders.
