'I wanted to immediately give back, raise money, raise awareness and help in any way I could.' - thegreatkhalid
Khalid , who visited the Boys & Girls Club of El Paso last September, considers the city his first true home.
"I was devastated," says the 21-year-old singer, who moved to the city with his family as a teenager. "I wanted to immediately give back, raise money, raise awareness and help in any way I could.". The two made a plan: Khalid would forgo the scheduled break between legs of his Free Spirit Tour to host a benefit for the victims. The concert, dubbed A Night for Suncity, will be held at El Paso's 12,000-capacity Don Haskins Center on Sept. 1.
Proceeds from the event and an official T-shirt available on Khalid's merch site will go to the El Paso Shooting Victims' Fund and the El Paso Community Foundation.
