Summary
- Gary Sinise Foundation cancelled a benefit concert for flood victims.
- The concert was scheduled for April 18, 2026.
- The foundation will focus on other impactful ways to support flood families.
The Gary Sinise Foundation has cancelled a benefit concert that was scheduled for April 18, 2026. This event was intended to support first responders and families impacted by the Texas Hill Country floods that occurred in July 2025. The cancellation was communicated via email on the morning of March 9 to Kerr County officials.
The foundation, led by actor Gary Sinise, informed county leaders that it plans to redirect its efforts. Instead of proceeding with the concert, the nonprofit will concentrate on the most impactful ways to honor and assist the families affected by the flood. Consequently, the foundation withdrew its application for a mass gathering permit.
No specific reason was provided for the concert's cancellation. The Gary Sinise Foundation, established in 2011, has a history of supporting veterans, first responders, and their families. Sinise himself is widely recognized for his role as Lt. Dan in the film "Forrest Gump."
