Dan Reynolds is doing
whatever it takes
to help kids battling pediatric cancer.
Ten years ago,
Reynolds and his band Imagine Dragons
launched the
Tyler Robinson Foundation (TRF)
, a nonprofit organization based on the life of Tyler Robinson, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at just 16 years old.
The organization to dedicated to raising funds and awareness for children and families who need the help, with the annual Rise Up Gala taking place tonight in the band's hometown of Las Vegas at Resorts World Las Vegas.
Director, actor and entrepreneur Aisha Tyler will host the gala alongside actor and comedian Joel McHale, with Imagine Dragons taking the stage for a special acoustic performance to celebrate the tenth anniversary.
"We're doing it with a full orchestra. This is the first time we've ever performed with brass, strings, and we're going to do all the songs at the gala. Every year we raise tens of millions of dollars for pediatric cancer. We've done a lot of great work and there's so many great people that make that happen and it's my favorite day of the year," Reynolds says.
This year, the exclusive acoustic performance will be also be streamed starting at 9:45 p.m. PT for people to watch at home. Supporters can tune in on the
Amazon Music channel on Twitch
.
Following the highly successful 2022 event, which raised a record-breaking $3.5 million, the Rise Up Gala promises to be an extraordinary evening of inspiration and hope.
