"MAC MILLER: A CELEBRATION OF LIFE" CONCERT TO BENEFIT THE LAUNCH OF THE MAC MILLER CIRCLES FUND

Friends of McCormick including Action Bronson, Anderson .Paak, Chance the Rapper, Dylan Reynolds, Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt, J.I.D, John Mayer, Miguel, Njomza, ScHoolboy Q, SZA, Thundercat, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, Vince Staples and more will come together to celebrate his legacy and the launch of the MMCF. In honor of Malcolm's commitment to the arts, the MMCF will provide programming, resources, and opportunities to youth from underserved communities, helping them recognize their full potential through exploration in the arts and community building.

"The support we've experienced is evident in this amazing line-up and is a testament to Malcolm's incredible life," said Karen Meyers. "His Father, brother and I are beyond thankful to everyone who is working to make this concert happen along with every fan and every friend for continuing to support Malcolm and his vision. He was a caring, loving human with a smile that could light up the sky and a soul that was out to make the world a kinder place and the MMCF will continue to do just that."

"He was pure artistry -- constantly creating, seeking, and discovering new ways to be both a source of inspiration and catalyst for new artists. We were fortunate, not only to work with Malcolm and watch his music evolve, but to witness his own personal evolution that included a strong focus on building bridges and opening doors for anyone and everyone he encountered. We hope his ambitions to bring people together and to create new opportunities will continue to live through the MMCF. We know Malcolm would be appreciative and proud of the thought and care that is going into making the MMCF a reality, so thank you to all who are selflessly helping this come to life.

We will be forever proud of the man he was, and thankful that he was able to share his gifts with the world." Kelly Clancy and Christian Clancy, co-managers/founders of 4 Strikes.
