Koe Wetzel Presents A Fan With A Brand New Can-Am After Raffle Raises $35,000 For Texas Hill Country Flood Relief
Hooking a fan up, and helping a lot of people in the process.
Back in August, Koe Wetzel held his Koe Wetzel & Friends: Stronger Together benefit concert, which helped raise over hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund via his own foundation, Koe’s Kids.
The July floods in Koe’s home state of Texas devastated the Hill Country, leaving at least 137 dead (including 27 from Camp Mystic, a summer camp for girls) and causing an estimated $18-22 BILLION in damage.
Obviously the cause is near and dear to Koe’s heart, with the country rocker telling the crowd at the benefit show what it meant to him to be able to support his home state:
“If this isn’t a testament to what we are, who we are as a state, I don’t know what g—-mn Texas means. I’m so f—ing proud to be a Texan.”
But that wasn’t all that Koe did to step up for those in need.
Through his foundation, Koe also partnered with Progressive Powersports in Granbury, Texas to raffle off a brand new Can-Am Defender Max Lone Star Cab to one lucky fan and raise even more money for a good cause.
The folks at Can-Am became aware of Koe‘s flood relief benefit concert at Toyota Music Factory a week or so before the show, and actually reached out to Koe‘s team to see if they could help by donating a unit. As a result, they donated the 2025 Can-Am Defender Lone Star Cab at no cost, with all proceeds going toward Koe‘s funds raised for the flood relief efforts.
The beast of an off-road vehicle came fully loaded with a ton of accessories, so naturally fans were quick to not only pitch in for their own shot at winning a sweet new ride but also help out with the flood relief efforts. And at the end of the day, Koe was able to raise an ADDITIONAL $35,000 for flood relief through the raffle – before ultimately getting the chance to make a fan’s day too.
During a recent show in Stephenville, Texas, Koe was able to present the lucky winner of the raffle, Jessica from Lubbock, with the keys to her new Can-Am in person as she attended the show with her husband.

Between the raffle and the benefit show, that brings the total that Koe has raised for Texas flood relief to over $810,000, a staggering amount that will no doubt do a lot of good for his home state and those in desperate need after the devastating floods.
Well done to everybody involved here. That Koe’s good people, and so are the fine folks at Can-Am.The post Koe Wetzel Presents A Fan With A Brand New Can-Am After Raffle Raises $35,000 For Texas Hill Country Flood Relief first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
