      The Hold Dena consortium is co-producing the inaugural Ashes to Anthems Benefit Concert and Resource Fair as part of its Legacy Land Initiative to raise awareness, amplify our collective voice, and direct philanthropic resources with a long-term community-backed strategy for measurable impact.

      By News Desk

      Ashes to Anthems will be an invigorating day of upliftment for families to enjoy entertainment, wellness, and family activities, as well as to access a wide range of resources.

      Benefit Concert

      Ashes to Anthems isn’t just a concert. It is a rally, a coming together, and the formation of a movement. It is where sound becomes strength and where the community collectively summons and calls upon the joint anthem to HOLD DENA.

      A dynamic lineup of artists including Grammy Award-winning and Golden Globe artist Andra Day, and performances by renowned artists Travis Greene, Goapele, and others will take the historic Memorial Park Band Shell stage.

      Free tickets are limited. Register here to confirm your concert seats before they sell out.

      Resource Fair

      At the heart of the event is a powerful mile-long Resource Fair—a collaborative force for recovery and restoration. The resource fair will include:

      • A financial assistance hub to provide direct guidance and resources
      • A rebuilding expo featuring long-term recovery partners
      • Children’s programming & family zones
      • Health screenings & mental health services
      • Housing support & legal assistance
      • On-site care management for displaced families

      Parking is available in the Holly Street Garage, 150 E. Holly Street, Pasadena, CA.
