NEW YORK - Nyenta -- A December 12 benefit concert brings together rock, reggae and other musical styles to support Parkinson's disease programs and opportunities for underserved youth.
BROOKLYN, NY — On Saturday, December 12, Brooklyn's legendary Gleason's Gym will trade the sounds of boxing gloves hitting heavy bags for live music as it hosts MUSIC FOR GOOD, a benefit concert supporting two New York City nonprofits: stoPD and Give a Kid a Dream.
Known worldwide for its boxing history and the champions who have trained within its walls, Gleason's Gym will become an unconventional live music venue for an evening celebrating music, community and giving back.
The concert will feature a diverse lineup spanning rock, reggae and other musical genres, including NYC-based rock band LYNX, Devon Cormack, other musical performers and a DJ set by Rai Lawson.
The event benefits two organizations with distinct but complementary missions:
stoPD, founded in 2014, provides science-based exercise programs, performing arts, education and community support for people living with Parkinson's disease. Its approach emphasizes physical activity, creativity and social connection as essential components of living well with the disease.
Give a Kid a Dream, the nonprofit initiative associated with Gleason's Gym, uses boxing, mentorship and education to empower underserved young people, helping them build confidence, discipline and opportunities for a better future.

"Music has always been a huge part of my life, just like boxing," says Alex Montaldo, co-founder and Programs Director of stoPD and frontman of LYNX. "We've been working with people living with Parkinson's at Gleason's for over a decade, so bringing these two worlds together in a place that means so much to us felt like a natural thing to do. And hopefully we'll raise some meaningful money for both organizations while having a great night."
More than a traditional fundraiser, MUSIC FOR GOOD offers New Yorkers an opportunity to experience one of Brooklyn's most recognizable sporting institutions in an entirely different way, while supporting programs that make a tangible difference in people's lives.
