The Guitar Center Music Foundation is proud to announce its 4th Annual Gala and Benefit Concert, which will take place on September 11, 2025, at The Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA. The Gala will honor legendary sound mixer John McBride with the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his significant contributions to the music industry. GRAMMY® award-winning American R&B/Pop songwriting and record producing duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis will be honored with the Vanguard Award for their unwavering support of music education.
The evening aims to raise awareness and funds for the Foundation’s mission to support musicians, champion music education and empower people across the United States to create and express themselves through music. Each year, thousands of individuals nationwide benefit from GCMF’s grants and initiatives, which supports veterans, hospital patients, the unhoused, and those affected by natural disasters, as well as youth in schools and after-school programs.
“Music can transform lives, and that’s why the Guitar Center Music Foundation exists – to ensure more people have access to it,” said Gabe Dalporto, CEO, Guitar Center. “Our annual Gala is a moment to celebrate that impact and reaffirm our shared commitment to music education and to supporting communities across the country.”
Additional support will go toward the Guitar Center Music Foundation’s Disaster Relief Program, which helps musicians impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires by providing replacement instruments, gear, and recovery resources. Since launching its Grant Program earlier this year, the Foundation has already supported 600 individual musicians. In addition, the Foundation has replaced instruments in more than ten schools, including restoring the inventory of two schools impacted by the Altadena fire.
“We’re proud to recognize individuals whose iconic success, impact, and contributions have shaped the music industry,” said David A. Helfant, Guitar Center Music Foundation, Board Chair. “It’s this level of accomplishment and passion that compelled our Foundation to celebrate these legends. We’re also deeply honored to recognize the firefighters who helped protect our communities during this year’s wildfires. Their bravery reminds us why our mission to heal, connect, and empower through music matters more than ever.”
The evening’s performances will be under the musical supervision of Emmy and GRAMMY® winning musician Adam Blackstone.  Blackstone is known for his award-winning work music directing multiple Super Bowl Halftime Shows and his collaboration with artists like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys, and many more.
