San Francisco is getting a star-studded night of music and philanthropy when Usher and Gwen Stefani headline Dreamfest on Wednesday, September 16, at Oracle Park.
Held during Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference, Dreamfest is a major benefit concert supporting UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. The event has become a signature part of Dreamforce week, bringing together music, entertainment and philanthropy for an important cause.
The evening will begin with the presentation of the Colin Powell Medal of Courage to 24-year-old UCSF patient Cait Joseph. The annual award recognizes a patient who has demonstrated extraordinary courage, empathy and leadership throughout their treatment journey. Joseph, who spent more than a decade receiving care at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, now hopes to pursue a career in nursing and has served on UCSF’s Youth Advisory Council for the past three years.
Following the ceremony, Usher and Gwen Stefani will take the stage before guests head to an after-party featuring live musicians, DJs, interactive experiences, specialty cocktails, a late-night buffet and desserts.
Tickets start at $1,500, with VIP packages including a cocktail reception, reserved concert seating and access to the after-party.
Dreamfest has previously featured some of music’s biggest names, including P!nk, Foo Fighters, U2, Green Day, Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Salesforce says the annual event has raised more than $130 million for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals.
Dreamfest takes place September 16 at Oracle Park, 24 Willie Mays Plaza.
