The “Stay Strong Jamaica” Concert is yet another manifestation of our music, reggae music, providing the opium for soothing our pain and for being the bridge to take us over troubled waters.”
David Hoenemeyer, Chief Operating Officer of Seminole Gaming (on behalf of Hard Rock Heals Foundation), said, “Hard Rock has a deep connection to Jamaica — its culture, its music, and its people. Hosting “Stay Strong Jamaica” is an honor and a responsibility we take to heart. We are proud that 100 percent of net proceeds will directly benefit recovery efforts, helping families and communities rebuild with hope and dignity.”
