Multi-platinum artist John Legend performed at the original Hard Rock Café in London on Sept. 12, 2024, as part of a celebration for the Unity by Hard Rock global loyalty program launch.

Legend was presented with a check for $100,000 from Hard Rock International’s Hard Rock Heals Foundation for his The Show Me Campaign nonprofit organization, whose mission is “to give every child access to a quality education” and to address criminal justice issues associated with the poor, minorities and disadvantaged.

“The night was special and made even more so with Hard Rock’s generous donation to The Show Me Campaign,” Legend said in a statement. “Growing up, music was my passion, but it was my teachers who truly unlocked my potential. They taught me to write with creativity, passion, and clarity, which paved my way to becoming a successful musician. I recognize that my journey was not just about talent, but also the fortune of having teachers who believed in me. Thank you to Hard Rock for supporting The Show Me Campaign’s work to pay it forward and ensure opportunity and access to quality education for the next generation.”

Keith Sheldon, president of Entertainment & Brand Management at Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, made the check presentation.

“We are proud to support The Show Me Campaign and are thankful to John for sharing his talents and powerful music with our Unity members and special guests at another incredible performance curated by Hard Rock,” Sheldon said in a statement. “We’re thrilled with the continued growth of Unity by Hard Rock membership since its global launch and supporting the ‘Come Together’ campaign that began this spring. Members have been discovering how they can earn points for doing what they love across Hard Rock’s amazing venues including hotels, casinos, restaurants, shops and more.”
