The Cause

Where the money goes.

A concert is a good excuse to get people in one place. What happens with the money afterward is the actual point.

Why mental health and brain trauma.

These are the injuries people hide. A concussion that never quite healed. A stretch of depression nobody at work knows about. Someone who seems fine right up until they aren't.

The help exists — support groups, counseling, family education, crisis lines. What's usually missing is someone pointing at it and saying "that's for you too." That's the gap we're trying to close, and a festival full of neighbors is a surprisingly good place to do it.

Proceeds from our events support mental health and brain trauma programs across the Gulf Coast.

Partners

Who we work with.

House of Judah

A local nonprofit working with people and families navigating mental health challenges on the Gulf Coast.

Coming

Our own relief program.

Alongside the partners above, we're building a Big Kountry program to put direct relief in the hands of Gulf Coast families dealing with brain trauma and mental health crises — the practical gaps that fall between what insurance covers and what a family can absorb.

It isn't running yet. When it is, it'll be described here in plain terms: who qualifies, how to apply, and where the money went.

Big Kountry Entertainment is an events company, not a licensed mental health provider. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, 24 hours a day.
