This Thursday a host of stars including Atlanta’s own Grammy Award-winning entertainer Usher and comedian Chris Tucker will take part in an event called the Beloved Benefit.

The Beloved Benefit is a concert and community impact event hosted at the Mercedez-Benz Stadium that aims to inspire positive change through greater economic mobility.

The event focuses 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 are replaced with love and brotherhood.”
