Scheduled to begin at 2:00pm, the four-hour benefit event will feature performances by comedians Liz Miele, Charles McBee, Menuhin Hart, and the host of NPR's "Ask Me Another" Ophira Eisenberg! Produced Eric Vetter, founder / producer of No Name Comedy Variety Shows, music will be provided by No Name house band The Summer Replacements (with whom Jeannine occasionally sang), and many others, including Scott McClatchy, Hans Liebert, and her sister Linda Engels-Steber.

Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $10.00. Proceeds will be donated to two 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, the AFSP (afsp.org), which funds research, creates educational programs, advocates for public policy, and supports those affected by suicide and the JDRF (jdrf.org), the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.
