About Us

On October 1, 2017, tragedy struck

The Route 91 county music festival in

Las Vegas, Nevada. 58 people lost

their lives, hundreds were injured and

thousands impacted.

The Beginning

Connie and Shawna met in

November of 2017, in Las Vegas and

again that year in California. They

both had a desire to bring the

community together and provide

safe gatherings for those that had

been affected by Route 91.

Remembrance Events

Connie and Shawna planned events

in their home towns and decided to

join forces bringing over 4000

people together in remembrance in

October 2018. They have continued

to organize an annual remembrance

event along with other meet ups and

events.

After four years they discovered it

was time to create The Country

Strong Project to support their

ongoing efforts to bring people together for healing.

The Country Strong Project

seeks to provide ongoing

support and healing, to those

affected by mass violence, by

providing and coordinating

safe places to come together.

- We inspire healing

through togetherness and

music.

- We strengthen our

communities by promoting

safe places to gather that

promote support and

understanding.
