Watch: 5 Former Presidents Appear At Texas Concert To Raise Money For Hurricane Relief

COLLEGE STATION, TX — All five living former presidents attended a concert Saturday night in Texas to raise money for hurricane relief as part of the One America Appeal, the fund the former statesmen established to raise money for victims of Hurricanes Irma, Harvey and Maria.

Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter are all backing the fundraising effort. A special restricted account has been established through the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation to collect and quickly distribute donations to ensure 100 percent of donations go to assist hurricane victims. Donations are tax deductible.

The concert Saturday was held at the Texas A&M University's Reed Arena in College Station. The university is also home to the elder Bush's presidential library. Performers at the concert included the band Alabama, musicians Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen, Lee Greenwood and more. All five former presidents were listed as special guests.

The fund was established by the presidents shortly after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas and was announced through a PSA where all five presidents appeared. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the fund was expanded to help all victims of those storms as well.

Having so much ex-presidential power in one place is unusual. George H.W. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said all five of Saturday night's attendees haven't been together since the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas in 2013, when Obama was still in office. He didn't answer a question about whether Trump was formally invited. President Trump will deliver a video message at the concert.

There is precedent for former presidents joining forces for post-disaster fundraising. George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton raised money together after the 2004 South Asia tsunami and Hurricane Katrina the next year. Clinton and George W. Bush combined to seek donations after Haiti's 2011 earthquake.
