Chase Rice Concert Raises Funds for Huntington's Cure

When music meets mission, extraordinary things happen. On April 18, 2026, multi-platinum country artist Chase Rice will take the stage at Fishers Event Center for the 17th annual Evening of Inspiration: Chasing A Cure, a concert that's turned heartbreak into hope for families fighting Huntington's disease.

The Bev Hartig Huntington's Disease Foundation has donated more than $3.6 million to research since its founding in 2011. Every dollar brings scientists closer to finding a cure for this hereditary neurodegenerative disorder that affects thousands of families.

Rice, known for chart-toppers like "Eyes On You" and co-writing the Diamond-certified hit "Cruise," will share the stage with Indiana native Clayton Anderson. Anderson won Kenny Chesney's Next Big Star competition in 2008 and has built a national following while touring with Eric Church, Blake Shelton, and Jason Aldean.

The foundation honors the late Bev Hartig, who faced her Huntington's diagnosis with determination to change the future for others. Her vision sparked an annual event that's grown into one of the most significant fundraisers supporting innovative Huntington's research.

Concert tickets go on sale Friday, January 23, at 10 a.m. through FishersEventCenter.com. The event combines a gala and concert experience, bringing together thousands who believe a cure is within reach.

Why This Inspires

This story shows how one person's courage can spark a movement that outlasts their lifetime. Bev Hartig transformed her diagnosis into a legacy of hope, creating a foundation that's now powered by sold-out concerts, dedicated volunteers, and fans who become advocates.

The event proves that entertainment and purpose make powerful partners. When artists lend their platforms to meaningful causes, they turn a night of music into momentum for scientific breakthroughs that could change millions of lives.

"Together, we are not just raising funds—we are fueling real progress, honoring families affected and moving one step closer to the future Bev dreamed of," said Lisa Rump, gala committee co-chair.

Seventeen years of sold-out shows and $3.6 million in research funding proves that hope, when combined with action, creates unstoppable forward motion toward a cure.
