Carrie Underwood Donates Concert Earnings To Superstorm Sandy Relief

During her show in Atlantic City, New Jersey this past Friday, Carrie Underwood told the crowd that she would donate all her earnings from that night's show to relief efforts in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.

“I wouldn’t feel right making any money off of tonight’s show,” Underwood said from the stage at Boardwalk Hall, as reported by the Press of Atlantic City. “So anything I make is going right back into the community here.”

“You know, after something like this, you wonder whether the show should go on," she said. "We thought, this building was still here, so it must be here for a reason.”

Charity is certainly in this singer's blood, as Carrie is also donating one dollar from each ticket sold on her Blown Away Tour to the Red Cross.
