Texas — Country Singer Coy Taylor ‘s recent appearance at Showdowns
Dance Hall & Saloon in Houston raised just under $30,000 for Texas
Equusearch, a search and rescue organization dedicated to searching for
missing persons.
“We would like to extend a Texas size thank you to Mr. Coy Taylor, The
Coy Taylor Band, and their sound crew that donated their time and an
awesome concert to our fundraising effort,” Texas Equusearch Search
Coordinator John White said. “Due to the contributions of a lot of great
people, and especially Coy and the band, we were able to raise more
than $29,000 to help this organization continue to help reunite families
with missing love ones or bring closure to help them get through the
grieving process.
“For an organization of all-volunteers, in this economy, this is a huge
success,” White continued. “We would like for this to become an annual
event and this is a stepping stone for a much greater result
fundraisers. Again, we cannot thank Coy and the Band enough for all
their help. They did a great job promoting our fundraiser before the
event and on stage. They were very professional and thoughtful with all
the volunteers and club staff. They were available and polite to the
fans customers.”
In the past few months, Taylor has been touring relentlessly across the
southeast. Since arriving in Nashville five years ago, Taylor has been
building a strong fan base while he works with such well-known names as
Brady Seals (Little Texas) and Grand Ole Opry legend Little Jimmy
Dickens.
Texas EquuSearch (TES) has increasingly become involved in high-profile
abduction cases, including that of Natalee Holloway, working through
local law enforcement agencies. TES is headquartered in Dickinson,
Texas, a suburb of Houston.
