Country singer Alan Jackson has raised more than $150,000 to help a Virginia county rebuild schools damaged by last year’s earthquake.
Mineral, the town at the quake’s epicenter, won the show in an online voting contest.
Media outlets report that Jackson told the crowd many of those who voted for Mineral in the contest aren’t from the town. He said that shows people in America take care of each other. Capitol Records provided about 3,000 free tickets and sold another 3,000.
