Country music icon George Strait has announced a special benefit concert and dinner to support victims of the recent Texas Hill Country floods.
Set for Sunday, July 27, 2025, the event—titled “Strait to the Heart”—will be held at the Estancia at Thunder Valley indoor arena in Boerne, Texas, just outside San Antonio. The intimate evening will raise funds for families devastated by historic flooding across the region.

“The need is overwhelming, and we felt compelled to act quickly. This is about neighbors helping neighbors—and showing that Texas always comes together in times of crisis.”
