Minot Rising Benefit at North Dakota State Fair Grandstand

Six-time Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum recording artists The Black Eyed Peas will hold a benefit concert on September 3, 2011, at the North Dakota State Fair Grandstand to assist the victims of the flooding that devastated Minot and surrounding North Dakota communities. All concert proceeds will go to the Minot Area Community Foundation Minot Area Recovery Fund. Josh Duhamel, a Minot native and Hollywood actor, is the honorary chairman for the Minot Area Recovery Fund, which will help Minot and the surrounding area in its long-term flood recovery needs. Duhamel is married to Fergie, the lead singer of The Black Eyed Peas.

Duhamel and Fergie have publically asked fans and celebrities to support the Minot area since the flooding began.
