The crowd reaches out for donated stuffed animals that were tossed out.

Aaron Tippin brings his enthusiasm, songs and antics on stage to the delight of the crowd. The annual fund raising concert for the Cleveland-Rutherford Kidney Association took place at Gardner-Webb University’s Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center this past Saturday. Travis Powell, the opening act, got the crowd in a great mood and closed out with tossing stuffed donated animals to the pleasure of the audience. Then with wild enthusiasm the All-American Aaron Tippin came on stage and brought down the house.
