In Concert for Cancer

✨ Celebrating 15 Beautiful Years of Music, Hope & Community — A Walk Down Memory Lane

ICFC Launch, 2011

Did you know our very first benefit concert took place aboard the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier in San Diego? Talk about an inaugural moment. Nearly 1,000 guests joined us on the flight deck for an unforgettable night of music featuring the extraordinary artistry of Dave Koz, Mindi Abair, Jeff Kashiwa, Steve Cole, Greg Karukas, Richard Smith, Kim Waters, and others.

The view over San Diego Bay was a spectacular setting — and the music had everyone on their feet, dancing and smiling. It was an ambitious beginning, and it left our small but mighty team feeling like we could present a benefit concert just about anywhere.

Our inaugural event supported cancer survivorship support services for Scripps Health in San Diego — a meaningful beginning to the mission that continues to guide us today.

✨ Were you with us for our very first show? We’d love to hear your memories!
