SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- "American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood of Checotah, runner-up Bo Bice and the other eight Idol finalists closed their summer concert tour with a benefit for Hurricane Katrina relief.
The tour ended last night in Syracuse, New York, with a sell-out crowd of six-thousand that paid $35 to $45 per ticket. The money will be donated to the American Red Cross.
And Underwood says she'll donate the revenues from her merchandise sales at the concert to the Humane Society of the United States to help pets stranded in the hurricane region.
