Country music superstar and dedicated waterfowl hunter Riley Green helped raise $100,000 for Ducks Unlimited during the second annual Duckman Jam concert on Nov. 22 at Simmons Bank Arena, celebrating both duck season and conservation in The Natural State.
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders praised Green’s commitment, saying it shines a national spotlight on the importance of conserving Arkansas’s waterfowl habitat.
The sold-out show drew 9,800 fans and featured performances by Green and special guests Jamey Johnson, Drake White, and Lauren Watkins. A percentage of ticket sales, combined with contributions from the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation and Green’s Buford Bonde Charitable Fund, made the $100,000 conservation donation possible.
Adding to the excitement, three KWCK 99.9 listeners won tickets to the concert through the Greg Geary Morning Show. The lucky winners were Julie Warden of Floral, Heidi Way of McRae, and Ashley Williams of Pleasant Plains.
“Riley Green is an absolute rocket ship in country music right now,” said Tom Jernigan Jr., Ducks Unlimited senior vice president of corporate relations. “His passion for waterfowling and conservation is incredible, and Duckman Jam was an amazing success.”
Green, a lifelong hunter and the Academy of Country Music’s 2019 New Male Artist of the Year, said he’s proud to contribute to wetland and waterfowl conservation.
Proceeds from the event will directly support waterfowl habitat restoration and conservation throughout Arkansas.
