In Concert for Cancer 2025 – Year in Review

SPREADING JOY – RAISING AWARENESS – SUPPORTING PATIENTS – ACCELERATING CURES

For the past 14 years, In Concert for Cancer has brought the transformative power of music to thousands of people, creating unforgettable experiences that unite and uplift cancer fighters, survivors, caregivers, and communities. Through world-class concert events, intimate VIP programs, and digital music initiatives, we celebrate life, resilience, and the joy of connection.

To date, we have proudly donated $500,000 to support cancer patients and their families, providing critical resources during challenging times, while also funding groundbreaking treatments and pioneering research. Every note played and every dollar raised reflects the generosity and dedication of our supporters, helping to bring hope, healing, and inspiration to those impacted by cancer.

TOUCHING HEARTS – OFFERING HOPE – FUELING PROGRESS

We had the incredible joy of spending ample time with music legend Ray Parker Jr.! Thanks to Ray’s generosity during our 2025 fundraising festivities, three lucky ICFC supporter families were treated to an unforgettable evening with the man himself.
Ray sparked something truly special—an experience that money simply can’t buy—and inspired us to continue offering our thoughtful donors these extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime moments, all in support of our cause.

“Congratulations on this year’s event and huge increase in fundraising! You are making such an impact on the lives of so many cancer patients and families.” Thank you, thank you, many times over! –Brei Haywood, Seattle Children’s Hospital

“THE SUITE LIFE” – BYRAN ADAMS & PAT BENATAR – SEATTLE’S CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA

On November 21st, we celebrated the joy of music with a passionate group of ICFC supporters, and the iconic music of Bryan Adams and Pat Benatar!

Now in its 5th year, our “Suite Life” music program continues to shine. This intimate fundraising experience offers a private, VIP luxury concert at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena for music-loving supporters who want to make a meaningful impact.

VIP WINE & MUSIC EVENT – SEPT. 28 – FOUR SEASONS HOTEL SEATTLE

We returned to the lovely Four Seasons Hotel Seattle with our sold-out VIP wine and music event, hosted by saxphonist Mindi Abair and wine expert, Eric Guerra.

Every artist in our lineup came out to celebrate, sharing smiles, stories, and memorable meet-and-greet time with our patrons.

This gathering has become a beloved companion to our main concert event, bringing supporters together in the spirit of fun and camaraderie, while giving our fundraising a meaningful lift.

14th ANNUAL BENEFIT CONCERT
CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF STEVIE WONDER!
9/29 – SEATTLE’S JAZZ ALLEY

We returned to Seattle’s Jazz Alley for our 4th year performing to a Sold-Out crowd!

Our All-Star lineup featured music luminaries Kenny Lattimore, Mindi Abair, Danny Seraphine, Judith Hill, Tony Grant and an incredible band.

Together, we celebrated the timeless music of the legendary Stevie Wonder. Each artist shared a personal story about the song they performed and how Stevie has shaped their musical journey.

Our fundraising festivities—which included both an online auction and a lively in-person auction—helped us surpass last year’s net proceeds.

Thanks to the collective generosity of our supporters, a record-breaking $1,500,000 was raised and is being shared equally between Seattle Children’s Hospital and the Cancer Vaccine Institute at UW Medicine. These funds provide vital resources for cancer-fighting families and fuel lifesaving cancer vaccine research and development.
