Some experiences are about more than where you go or what’s on the table. The 27th annual Eric Marienthal & Friends Benefit Concert at Hyatt Regency Newport Beach brought together music, hospitality, and community in support of the High Hopes Head Injury Program.
BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
The evening began with a VIP reception, where guests gathered for dinner, cocktails, and live music before making their way to the outdoor amphitheater.
The concert was led by two-time Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal, joined by Grammy-nominated pianist and composer David Benoit, vocalist Niki Haris, and friends. More than 700 guests attended this year's event.
Along with the performances, silent and live auctions gave guests another opportunity to support the organization and its work.
THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE CAUSE
The annual concert benefits High Hopes Head Injury Program, an Orange County nonprofit that has served the brain-injured community for more than 50 years. Its programs support adults recovering from traumatic brain injuries through cognitive rehabilitation, physical programs, occupational and speech therapy, and other services designed to help individuals regain skills and independence.
Events like Eric Marienthal & Friends help fund the programs and scholarships that make those services accessible to High Hopes students.
