The

One Day for Jackson, scheduled for

Alex Sensation, DJ
Irie, and comedian
Mario Ramil.
The event kicks off at

loanDepot park, showcasing not just musical talent but also a spirit of unity and generosity among the attendees. Tickets start at a reasonable price of
$75, all proceeds going directly to support
Jackson Health System, ensuring that high-quality healthcare remains accessible to everyone in Miami-Dade County.
In conjunction with the concert, the community will have various opportunities to contribute to
One Day for Jackson before and throughout the day. Local businesses, including
Vicky Bakery,

Sushi Maki, will support the initiative, allowing patrons to partake in fundraising efforts simply through their purchases. This integrated approach is designed to foster community involvement while bolstering the financial foundation necessary for Jackson Health to deliver cutting-edge treatments and technology.
