Equality Health Foundation is announcing the inaugural Rhythm of Well-Being Community Concert and Leadership Honors Celebration, which is dedicated to recognizing excellence in health equity leadership.
This event is from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17 at Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix.
The fundraising event champions the Equality Health Foundation’s mission to provide equitable healthcare and promote access to well-being for everyone. Tickets will be available for purchase on July 29, according to a press release.
The community concert will present an evening of music, showcasing national and local entertainers along with celebrity guests. Headlining the event will be Big Mountain, the renowned reggae band famous for their hit remake of Peter Frampton’s “Baby, I Love Your Way.”
“We started out as an activist group — it’s what inspired us from the very beginning,” said Big Mountain. “Reggae music has a history of bringing a voice to voiceless people. Equality Health Foundation empowers people who feel marginalized and that is important work that we all must do together.”
This year, Equality Health Foundation is placing a special emphasis on raising awareness about the importance of mental health. To support this focus, local and national leaders are producing and publishing public service announcements that highlight pressing public health issues, with a particular spotlight on mental health.
“We are truly honored to host an event that embodies the spirit of community, collaboration, and well-being,” said Tomás León, president of Equality Health Foundation. “This event recognizes the incredible work of leaders in our community, and our collective efforts toward achieving health equity and a brighter future for all.”
