The GRAMMY winner will be honored with the award and a night tributing his music at the organizations’s 33rd annual Person of the Year benefit gala at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 2, 2024 — just two nights ahead of the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Hosted by MusiCares, a leading charity providing health and human services for music professionals, the gala is one of the most prestigious events of GRAMMY week.
“I’m truly humbled to be this year’s MusiCares honoree,” said Jon Bon Jovi. “MusiCares’ work with music professionals is vitally important in creating much needed support and wellness programs that cultivate a healthier and more vibrant community for us all.”
He continued, “Philanthropic work has been a cornerstone of my life and has always run in tandem to my music career and achievements. Nearly two decades ago when I formed the JBJ Soul Foundation and JBJ Soul Kitchens, I saw firsthand and continue to see today the impact of charitable community-based work. I know this for sure: helping one’s community is helping one’s self.”
Proceeds from this year’s gala will benefit MusiCares’ health and human services programs that specifically assist the music community with physical and mental health, addiction recovery, preventive clinics, unforeseen personal emergencies, and disaster relief.
