With A Little Help From Our Friends
With a Little Help from Our Friends is more than a concert—it’s a reminder of the strength we gain when we lean into the support around us. In a world that often encourages independence and self-reliance, this event highlights the courage it takes to reach out, to ask for help, and to show up for one another. Through music, storytelling, and community connection, the evening shines a light on the healing power of relationships and the role they play in our mental well-being. It’s a celebration of hope, resilience, and the truth that none of us are meant to navigate life’s challenges alone.
Become a sponsor of the 2025 show!
When we feel a strong sense of purpose, stay rooted in the present, and know we have a support system to lean on, we can grow and flourish – even in the face of life’s most difficult challenges. In a time when mental health concerns continue to rise among both youth and adults, focusing on connection, resilience, and growth has never been more important.
At Jana Marie Foundation, we remain committed to equipping young people and their communities with the tools they need to navigate life’s ups and downs. Through innovative and engaging programming, we provide vital education, build confidence, and create safe spaces where young people and caring adults alike can feel seen, heard, and supported. Our goal is simple but important: to help young people build resilience, deepen their support networks, and stay true to themselves – in thoughts, words, and actions.
We invite you to be part of this mission by supporting our annual concert, With a Little Help from Our Friends, taking place on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at 6pm at The Arena Bar & Grill. The evening will provide exceptional entertainment and will celebrate the power of community, the strength we find in each other and the courage it takes to show up for one another. This year’s event will feature Big Red and Zoe MaKenna (6 pm – 6:30 pm); Ken Baxter (6:45 pm – 7:15 pm); Luke Goes Electric (7:30 pm – 8 pm); Area 38 (8:15 pm – 8:45 pm); Free Range (9 pm – 9:30 pm); Cajons and Cojones (9:45 pm – 10:15 pm); and Groove Society (10:30 pm – 11 pm).
Guests are invited to come when they can and stay as long as they’d like, enjoy great music and food, reconnect with friends, and support the meaningful work of Jana Marie Foundation. The Arena Bar & Grill full menu will be available throughout the evening for purchase.
This is more than a concert – it’s a powerful reminder that together, we can build communities rooted in understanding, acceptance, and belonging.
