Grammy nominated, multi-platinum jazz saxophonist, Najee performs at his ONLY concert in NYC in 2019. Join us for a "Serenade to Sobriety (STS)", a fundraiser supporting people in recovery and those loving someone in active addiction. Najee is joined by comedian Michael Colyar, singer/songwriters Sherrod Barnes and Peter Collins. "STS" will pay tribute to advocacy groups, healthcare providers, administrators, and parents who have been instrumental in the fight against the opioid epidemic and substance use disorder.

All proceeds will benefit The PILLARS, a not-for-profit that provides free holistic recovery supports to all who enter their doors. to co-host the event.

The event will be held on September 21st at Symphony Space, NY. This year's honorees will include:

  • Commissioner Arlene Gonzalez-Sanchez, OASAS
