Carrie Underwood made a significant donation to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation of $420,316. The money was raised by her fans who bought tickets to her 43-city arena tour, “The Denim & Rhonetsone Tour.” This contribution will go directly towards supporting America’s heroes and their families.
Carrie said, “I’m so proud of the fans that came out to the tour and making this donation possible. They have always shown up to support great organizations like Tunnel To Towers, making the world a better place while coming out to see us.”
Since early in her career, Underwood has designated a portion of ticket sales from her tours to support worthwhile charities and organizations. She continued that tradition by arranging for a donation of $1 from each ticket sold for her recent tour to be contributed to The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization committed to providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children, and building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
Frank Siller, the CEO and Chairman of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation said, “We are overjoyed and profoundly grateful for this kind gesture. Carrie’s substantial donation, supported by her loving fans, will directly influence the lives of many of our nation’s heroes and their families.”
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation pledges to utilize 100% of this donation towards its cause, forgoing the usual allocation for administrative costs. This means every single dollar of this generous contribution will aid in providing mortgage-free homes to families of fallen first responders, Gold Star families, and catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.

Carrie said in a statement about playing Vegas, “I love being on the road and coming to the fans where they live, but it will also be fun to get to do multiple shows in one place where people will be able to come to get that concert experience and have some fun in Las Vegas at the same time.”
