Curebound’s Concert for Cures welcomes Elton John

With over 27,000 people filling Petco Park, Curebound’s Concert for Cures welcomed global superstar and humanitarian Elton John for a night of music and celebration raising $11.5 million to support adult and pediatric cancer research in San Diego. “We are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of support from our community, our sponsors, and Elton John. This concert was about more than music — it was about momentum and raising funds we urgently need to fast-track collaborative cancer research that supports our vision of cures in our lifetime,” said Curebound CEO Anne Marbarger. Since launching in 2022, the Concert for Cures series has raised over $20 million to fight cancer. Previous artists included Alicia Keys with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and Ed Sheeran performing to sell-out crowds at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.
