Country star Eric Church will take home the Academy of Country Music’s Icon Award next month, in part for his ongoing charitable support of Hurricane Helene relief efforts after the powerful storm devastated his home state of North Carolina last year.

Church, 48, will be honored at the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors ceremony on Aug. 20 at Nashville’s new live music venue, The Pinnacle.
