More Than a Concert – A Night That Moves Research Forward
This isn’t just a night of incredible country music — it’s a powerful moment to fuel Parkinson’s research forward.
Every ticket fuels groundbreaking research, accelerates new treatments and brings us closer to a cure. When you take your seat, you’re joining a community of millions of families impacted by Parkinson’s — and helping turn momentum into measurable progress.
Last year, this unforgettable night raised over $1 million for Parkinson’s research. This year, we’re aiming even higher.
Join us on April 15th and surround yourself with a passionate community of supporters who believe in the power of music to drive change.
