Lambertville Helping Hands Concert Raises $100K Despite Rain

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — The Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce announced Tuesday that its 'Helping Hands' benefit concert raised about $100,000 in just one weekend.

The rain-or-shine music and variety event garnered the funds toward aid for individuals and businesses impacted by devastating flooding in the area in the wake of Hurricane Ida.

"We could not have done it without our volunteers, musicians, sponsors, donors, and ticket holders," a message on the chamber of commerce's social media read. "You made this happen!"

The Chamber of Commerce also shared footage from the weekend, including performances by Darius De Haas, Jake Thistle, and the Roxey Ballet Company — whose studio was severely impacted by the flooding and rainfall.

Those who wish to help out still can, by buying a Helping Hands t-shirt for $20 through dinafanelli39@gmail.com; writing a check to Lambertville Helping Hands c/o 119 N Union Street, Lambertville 08530; or Venmoing @LambertvilleHelpingHands.
