South Carolina's ONLY annual youth suicide prevention benefit concert!
Through theater performances and live music, our event aims to raise awareness for suicide prevention and funds for the Jason Foundation.
ALL proceeds are donated to the Jason Foundation.
We have dedicated our fundraising efforts to go to The Jason Foundation (JFI), who use ~98% of their donations to go to programming to help teachers and others who work with youth to recognize signs to help prevent the silent epidemic of youth suicide.
To date, we have donated $11,991.50 to JFI!
We have set a $10,000 fundraising goal for JFI by the end of February 2025. Help us!
Here's how we hope to meet that $10,000 fundraising goal for JFI::
- sales from tickets, concessions, raffles, and silent auction,
- cash donations during our events,
- and your generous donations directly to JFI. Go to our FAQ page to learn how to make a donation TODAY!
