The concert is part of the weekend annual benefit the Hudson Family Foundation (HFF), which also will be a Superbowl Gala in February 1. The HFF is a Christian-based organization founded in 2009 by former Auburn University and current launcher San Francisco Giants Tim Hudson and wife, Kim, returning to individuals and families enduring financial difficulties.
Through what is called "Huddle Huddy," Selected organizations will have the opportunity to sell concert tickets and keep 50 percent of each ticket sold.
Selecting organizations also have the opportunity to sell sponsorships for the weekend and keep a portion of the sponsorships sold. Levels of sponsorship is $ 2,500, $ 5,000 and $ 10,000. For sponsorship sales, HFF contribute $ 1,000, $ 2,000 and $ 3,000, respectively, to the sales organization.
Commissioner Robert Ham Lee County is a past president and member of the Kiwanis Club of Lee-one of the organizations that sell County. Ham said the club participated in the sale of tickets for the weekend profit last year and this year expects to raise about $ 4000 to double the amount of money that was raised in 2014.
"All the money we take in and distribute to the community has any affiliation with children who are in need," said Ham.
He said the money raised last year through Huddle Huddy helped the club "Santa suit" to more than 100 children in 28 families who need a little extra help, last Christmas season.
"It (Huddle Huddy) only means that there will be more people in the community who will receive help because this fundraiser Tim Hudson ago," Ham said. "If people would look at the benefits the founding of the Hudson family does, they would be very interested in helping with this. Many people who are so genuinely in need are benefiting. If it were not for that, I cannot think of anywhere else where these people get help. "
Representing for Paws Rescue, a group of local pet rescue nonprofit that help homeless pets find forever homes, Rebecca Perry said his group participated in Huddle Huddy last year. For legs use the money for medical care, food and shelter for your pet rescue. He added that, on average, costs between $ 350 and $ 700 to prepare a pet for a new home.
"We raise all our money doing fundraisers and donations," Perry said. "This is a great way for us to have donations to help rescue our pets, so people involved and a fabulous event in our community."
San Jose Child Development Center in Ft. Mitchell is another organization that sells tickets for the weekend HFF Benefit for the second consecutive year.
The center serves about 60 students between 2.4 and is the only center for early childhood development in that area, according to board member Zada Feighner.
"The state of Alabama provides support for two types of four years old, but 2- and 3 year olds are strictly private donations," Feighner said. "That makes it difficult to have operating expenses or any accessory such as a better playground or additional programming.
"Having the opportunity to mate with Hudson Family Foundation is a true blessing for our organization," said Feighner. "It is a great blessing."
Brent Hall, Manager of Special Events HFF encourages people to buy tickets for an entertaining show that ultimately help individuals and families who are struggling.
"Tim and Kim Hudson pride themselves on being at the forefront of supporting children and families facing life-threatening situations that are too painful for most of us to believe," Hall said.
"Once a year, the Family Hudson Foundation invites the community to show their support through sponsorship or just buy a ticket for the concert of the Hudson Family Benefit Foundation. One hundred percent of every dollar raised goes to his mission to support these children and their families. "
