The event was hosted in partnership with the University of Arkansas–East Arkansas Community College, bringing together music fans, community leaders, customers, employees, and partners for an unforgettable night dedicated to fighting hunger.

“We were thrilled to be part of such a one-of-a-kind and meaningful event for our region,” said Dr. Cathie Cline, UA-EACC Chancellor. “It’s incredible to think about the number of lives this benefit impacted. Hunger is a very real issue for us—many of our own students rely on support from regional food banks through our campus food pantry. We were proud to partner with Greenway Equipment to help feed the hungry, support the agriculture industry, and host incredible talent in eastern Arkansas.”

Greenway Equipment, Inc. extends our sincere appreciation to our customers, employees, partners, volunteers, and the surrounding communities whose generosity made this milestone fundraiser possible.
