Headlined by the iconic Freda Payne, who will be joined by an incredible lineup of guest artists, the concert promises to deliver soul-stirring performances that honor Hathaway’s timeless music.

This event goes beyond just entertainment. It’s a call to action—a chance to make a difference in the fight against suicide. Every note played and every song sung will echo the importance of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, a resource that offers immediate support to those in crisis.

The concert is produced by Kevin Wachs, a dedicated advocate for mental health awareness, who has played a pivotal role in organizing this meaningful event.

Freda Payne, who has personally experienced the heartbreak of losing loved ones to suicide, shared her thoughts on the event: “This cause is deeply personal to me. Music has the power to heal, and I hope this concert not only honors Donny Hathaway’s legacy but also provides comfort and support to those who need it most.”

Her presence, along with the other artists, will create a moving experience that highlights the need for accessible mental health resources.
