Performers gear up for Powerful Women and Men charity show on June 21

More than 45 prominent Jamaicans are currently immersed in rehearsals for the "Powerful Women and Men Perform for Charity" fundraising production, scheduled for Sunday, June 21, at the Jamaica College Auditorium.

This annual event, established by Thyra Heaven, has a significant track record, having raised over $80 million throughout its history for Mustard Seed Communities. This organization provides essential care for more than 500 abandoned children living with disabilities and HIV.

Ewan Simpson, the musical director, expressed high expectations for the show, noting the exceptional quality of talent and anticipating an event that will be both inspiring and entertaining. He highlighted the strong camaraderie and mutual support among the performers during rehearsals, describing the energy as remarkable.

The lineup includes notable first-time participants such as Opposition Leader Mark Golding, Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett, Miss Jamaica World 2026 Nevaeh Allen, and Opposition Spokesperson on Culture Nikeisha Burchell. They will join returning performers like Speaker of the House Juliet Holness and Commissioner of Indecom Hugh Faulkner. Tickets can be purchased at Fontana Pharmacy locations and online via touchstonelink.com, with a pay-per-view option available through the Alive Podcast Network for those unable to attend in person.

The quality of talent is exceptional so I expect the event to be as inspiring as it will be entertaining. The line-up makes for a fitting return of the show and an excellent tribute to Father’s Day.
