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 last week brought in $588,120.30 from tickets, raffles and other fundraising efforts. About $428,325.70 will be divided between the 29 families affected by the collision, it said, after covering expenses related to venue staff and production. The Humboldt Broncos tribute was billed as a concert to remember the 16 people who died in the April 6 bus crash. The concert’s fundraising efforts come after a GoFundMe campaign raised nearly $15.2 million for the players and families affected by the crash.
