"Remembering Ray... An Intimate Musical Tribute"
June 10, 2012 @ The Buckhead Theatre
In his sweet State of Georgia and in the beautiful City of Atlanta,
a very special fundraising tribute will take place on June 10th for
one of Georgia’s most precious native sons! In honor of the 8th
anniversary of his death, the children of the Legendary Ray
Charles (along with many celebrity participants, esteemed
guests, VIPS and dignitaries) will celebrate, in grand fashion,
Charles’ fascinating life, painful lessons and lasting legacy. This
Tribute will take place at the historic Buckhead Theatre in the
prestigious Buckhead Area of Atlanta. This incredible red-carpet,
fundraising musical celebration will benefit two organizations that
exemplify Charles’ private passions – Georgia Hands & Voices
and The Atlanta Area School for the Deaf.
This project is a Tribute to the legendary Ray Charles by eight of
his twelve children. While Ray Charles overcame his loss of
sight, he was committed to helping those with hearing issues.In
1987, Mr. Charles urged Congress to increase funding for
research into hearing loss saying: "Most people take their
hearing for granted. I can't. My eyes are my handicap, but my
ears are my opportunity. My ears show me what my eyes can't.
My ears tell me 99 percent of what I need to know about my
world." Atlanta was chosen for several reasons.Two of Ray’s
daughters make Atlanta their home.The State of Georgia has a
long and deep relationship with Ray Charles culminating with
“Georgia On My Mind”. The evening will include celebrities,
personal glimpses of their father as well as an engaging musical
tribute.
Committed to continuing their father’s legacy of supporting
organizations dedicated to helping those with hearing loss,
Georgia Hands & Voices is truly honored to be identified as a
co-recipient for this tribute.
