JET BLACK ROSES Releases ‘Carolina Blue’ Song in Partnership with OPERATION AIRDROP
JET BLACK ROSES Band Supports Hurricane Relief Efforts
JET BLACK ROSES, the country rock band, has recently launched their latest song titled ‘Carolina Blue’ in collaboration with OPERATION AIRDROP. The song was inspired by the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s impact on the North Carolina mountains and aims to raise awareness and support ongoing relief efforts in the region.
Supporting Operation Airdrop
All proceeds from the sales of ‘Carolina Blue’ song and related merchandise will be donated to Operation Airdrop, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing relief in areas affected by natural disasters. The band’s initiative stems from a desire to assist the communities in Western North Carolina that were severely affected by the hurricane.
Partnership with Operation Airdrop
The band has joined forces with Operation Airdrop to facilitate relief efforts for those impacted by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina. They are running a donation drive to collect essential supplies, including non-perishable food, baby necessities, and cleaning products. The donations will be sent to on-the-ground organizations in North Carolina to aid in the recovery process.
Donation Support and Relief Efforts
JET BLACK ROSES is encouraging the public to contribute by purchasing Carolina Blue T-shirts, with 100% of the proceeds going to Operation Airdrop. Alternatively, those in Georgia can donate essential supplies at designated drop-off locations. The band is dedicated to supporting the affected communities and ensuring that they receive the assistance they need.
