Celebrities, Corporations Generously Donate to Help Victims of Flooding in Texas Hill Country
HILL COUNTRY AREA, TEXAS, JUL 6 – Shakira pledged proceeds from her concert to aid families affected by Hill Country floods that caused at least 43 deaths and left 27 campers missing, officials said.
On July 5, 2025, Shakira held a concert at the Alamodome in San Antonio and pledged to donate a portion of the proceeds to families affected by the Texas Hill Country floods.
The floods began early on July 4 when torrential rains pushed the Guadalupe River up by 26 feet, causing catastrophic damage and over 82 deaths across multiple Texas counties.
Major donors including the Dallas Cowboys, NFL Foundation, Houston Texans, and USAA each committed $500,000 to support immediate relief and recovery efforts in the region.
At least 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic remain missing, and President Donald Trump declared a state of emergency for Kerr County on July 6.
Active flood warnings persist statewide while celebrities and organizations continue donations and appeals, emphasizing ongoing needs as responders search for survivors.
Shakira donated a portion of the proceeds from her concert last weekend to Catholic Charities, a relief organization helping families affected by the flooding in Texas.
