"We are thrilled to participate as Theatre Within's charity partner for the 30th Annual John Lennon Tribute," said Whitney Kroenke, co-founder and executive director of the Playing For Change Foundation.

"John Lennon was a hugely inspirational artist and a humanitarian of epic proportions and we are honored that Yoko has given Playing For Change Foundation her blessing, as it is our mission to inspire, connect and bring peace to the world through music."
