TORONTO – Organizers behind the Humboldt Broncos tribute concert say they've raised nearly half a million dollars for families affected by the tragic bus crash.
The Country Thunder Music Festival says the event in Saskatoon brought in about $588,100 from tickets, raffles and other fundraising efforts.
About $428,000 will be divided between the 29 families, after covering expenses related to venue staff and production.
