Event: United for Relief: Reggae Benefit Concert

Dates: Dec 13–14, 2025

Time: Saturday, December 13th. 11:30am-10pm and Sunday, December 14th from 11:30am-7pm

Location: Sarasota Fairgrounds located at 3000 Ringling Blvd, Sarasota, FL 34237

Description: The total devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Melissa across Jamaica is a sight no one can easily forget.  Here in Sarasota, a small group of local business people watched the news reports—the shocking scenes of loss and human suffering—and realized they couldn’t stand by. They knew they had to act. They had to be United for Relief.

The success of “United for Relief” is a testament to the selfless dedication of many, but we must take a moment to specifically honor two individuals whose time, resources, and influence have been truly invaluable: David Baram Esquire and Heather Cameron. Their commitment to this cause has transformed what was an idea into a reality.

This isn’t just a concert; it’s a movement born of compassion. It’s our chance to answer the desperate cries for help and provide the most essential, life-saving aid.

Admission: From $30 — if you’re able, please give more, every extra dollar puts food, shelter, and medical care into the hands of families recovering from Hurricane Melissa.
