5-29-07 - A Wichita native who became famous on American Idol returned to his hometown to help Greensburg Tornado victims. Fans filled Central Christian Church to hear their “Idol” sing and raise money for Greensburg.

Phil Stacey, the North West High graduate, made it clear that he wasn’t only there to raise money, but also awareness. He wanted to remind people that even if they don’t have money to give, they can give time. All proceeds raised at the concert go to the Salvation Army for Greensburg Tornado Relief.
