‘We Can Survive’ Raises Over $600K
• Audacy brought its 10th annual We Can Survive benefit show to the East Coast on Saturday, Oct. 14 for an evening of performances by Maroon 5, ONEREPUBLIC, Kelly Clarkson, David Kushner and Opening Actwinner IZZA at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The sold-out show, hosted by WNEW (NEW 102.7 FM)/New York is part of Audacy’s ongoing “I’m Listening” mental health initiative, and raised more than $600,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
“It was so special to commemorate We Can Survive‘s 10th anniversary in front of new listeners with a memorable lineup of performances,” said Michael Martin, Audacy’s SVP of Programming and Music Initiatives. “Music unites us, and last night was the perfect kickstart to our Fall live events season. We’re proud to have once again teamed up with AFSP while connecting with our fans to promote research, education and advocacy for mental health.” [Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson & Ryan Tedder photos by Manny Carabel / Getty Images for Audacy]
