Members of the Charlottesville music community came together to raise money to help Bennie and his family, just as Bennie has generously given his time and efforts to a myriad of charitable events over the years. Headlining the event was former Statler Brother and multi-platinum singer/songwriter Jimmy Fortune. Jimmy and Bennie performed together in many Central Virginia bands.
