Get Together Foundation in cooperation with Rock Cellar Productions Presents:
THE 988 LIFELINE CHARITY EVENT featuring the debut of: “Heart & Soul” – A Musical Tribute to the Life & Times of Donny Hathaway
Legendary soul singer Donny Hathaway suffered from severe mental illness, which eventually resulted in his untimely death in 1979 at just 33 years of age. Hathaway’s legacy lives on in his music. His interpretations of well-known songs include renditions of Leon Russell’s “A Song for You," and famed duets with Roberta Flack, “Where is the Love” and “The Closer I Get to You." Hathaway won one Grammy Award and was also posthumously honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.
“Heart & Soul” is a multimedia musical tribute that will feature a stellar cast of actors and singers performing Hathaway’s songs and telling his story.

THE 988 LIFELINE CHARITY EVENT is a major effort to raise awareness about the nationwide hotline and funds to increase the level of care and support for those potentially at risk for suicide victims and their families.
The 988 SUICIDE & CRISIS LIFELINE (formerly an 800 number) is now just 3 presses on a phone, and trained assistance for those in immediate need can be on the way. It is our hope that this effort will help make a difference, save lives, and help families. Tell a friend. More people need to know about it.
GET TOGETHER FOUNDATION, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2001, is making a difference. Their unique fundraising efforts have included numerous all-star charity concert events and telethons which have raised money and awareness for various causes.
Proceeds raised will benefit Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services – a leading provider of mental health, substance use & suicide prevention services throughout Southern California, as well as other mental health partner organizations that address the multifaceted causes of this tragic epidemic.
