Lyrics for Life: An Evening of Making Music Matter
March 7, 2026
Hosted by Rich and Carissa Blaser in partnership with Sister Hazel, the evening united music, storytelling, and philanthropy for a powerful night in support of cancer research and patient care.
With performances by Sister Hazel, special guest John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, and a surprise appearance from Stan Lynch, the original drummer of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, the event raised more than $800,000 for the Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation and STOP! Children’s Cancer.
