Jeff Leibow of JERSEY BOYS is producing the “NF Hope Concert” and silent auction set to take place on June 12 at the Las Vegas Hilton. Proceeds from the concert will be donated to NF, Inc., an organization that serves families and individuals with neurofibromatosis, which is more commonly known as NF.
“NF Hope Concert” will be hosted by Improv Comedy veteran Matt Donnelly and KTNV Channel 13 Anchor Lisa Remillard.
The star-studded concert will include performances by Gordie Brown, Rich Little, Dezmond Meeks, Human Nature, Santa Fe and cast members from JERSEY BOYS, Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular and THE LION KING.
“Our goal for this concert is to raise awareness. We are so lucky that I am in a place to put together a concert like this – to gather 1500 people in a room and tell them what neurofibromatosis is and hope they go tell 1500 more people,” says Leibow.
The concert is inspired by Leibow’s daughter Emma, who was recently diagnosed with NF. NF is one of the most common genetic disorders and affects more than 100,000 Americans, making it more common that cystic fibrosis, hereditary Muscular Dystrophy, Huntington’s Disease and Tay Sachs combined.
Silent auction items include tickets to Celine Dion, Donny and Marie, Terry Fator, Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular, THE LION KING, JERSEY BOYS, show memorabilia, restaurant certificates, spa certificates and more.
