Last week, the 2022 Beloved Benefit, which featured special performances by three-time Grammy Award-winning pop band Maroon 5 and eight-time Grammy Award-winning artist, Usher, raised $6.3 million dollars for the betterment of the local Atlanta, Georgia community.
The event focused on raising awareness, securing funds and inspiring action to help shape Atlanta’s legacy with a vision of cultivating a community free of poverty, hunger and homelessness, where racism and prejudice is replaced with love and brotherhood.
This year’s event also included a special tribute to the late Congressman John Lewis, a musical performance by Seasons Collective and a theatrical performance called “Little A.”
The $6.3 Million raised will be distributed directly to this year’s eight Nonprofit Beneficiaries and eleven Community Beacons, which prioritize economic and community development at the core of their missions.
This year’s eight Beneficiaries include:
• Atlanta CareerRise
• Center for Employment Opportunities
• The Goodr Foundation
• Goodwill of North Georgia Career Training Center
• Latin American Association
• Quest Community Development Organization
• The Village Market
• Westside Future Fund
