"American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood, along with runner-up Bo Bice and the other eight Idol finalists, closed their summer concert tour with a benefit for Hurricane Katrina relief.
The American Red Cross will benefit from Sunday's sold-out crowd of 6,000 that paid $35 to $45 for a seat at the War Memorial at Oncenter in Syracuse, N.Y., as the Idols wound up a tour of 43 cities in 62 days.
"It's a very happy thing that we're doing to help people," Underwood said. "When (executive producer) Simon Fuller suggested the idea of putting on a special charity concert to help those in need, I and all the Idols on tour were happy to help."
