Become a sponsor of the 2023 show!

When we feel a strong sense of purpose, live in the present moment, and have a strong support network around us, we can flourish and grow regardless of the challenges that come our way. Focusing on growth and overcoming adversity has become increasingly important as we navigate life after the pandemic.

Through innovative programming, the Jana Marie Foundation continues to provide vital programs and resources to young people and caring adults in our community to help grow confidence, provide practical tools and techniques to overcome adversity, and educate about mental health and wellness. It is our dream that young people grow their resiliency and support networks to help them be true to themselves through their thoughts, words, and actions.   

On Friday, September 29, 2023 at 7 pm, the Jana Marie Foundation will host its fifth annual Philosophy of Hope concert at the State Theatre to spread hope throughout our community.  This event will showcase inspiring songs crafted by singer-songwriter-author Ken Baxter as well as new arrangements of memorable songs from the past. This is not just a concert. It is a powerful show with a message: Together, we can strengthen our individual and collective well-being by creating communities where we feel valued, appreciated, and understood.

Through music and storytelling, producer Ken Baxter will take us on an emotional, musical journey igniting grief and celebrates life, resilience, and connectedness. Joining Ken on stage includes Molly Countermine, Rene Witzke, Keely Krause, Breanna Snyder, Luke Cimbala, and many other notable musicians.
