About Us
The biggest party a class will ever throw, built to fund a wish.
Grad Concert is a Nightly event. One all-ages concert a graduation season, carried by students who represent their own schools, with the proceeds pointed at Make-A-Wish North Texas. Here is where it came from, and where it is going.
How it started
The idea was simple and stubborn. Throw the graduation party a whole class would want to be at, and let it do real good on the way out. Nightly borrowed the mechanism from the fundraisers that actually sell out: a student representative at every school, first word passed hand to hand, and nothing spent on paid marketing.
The bet, and it was a bet, was that a class shows up for its own people before it shows up for a name on a poster. Two nights in, the bet has held.
Two nights, and a third coming

The proof.
The first Grad Concert brought the class to Gilley’s in Dallas, with Ty Myers on the bill, in support of Make-A-Wish North Texas.

The scale.
James Hype and JAMO headlined, and the rep program grew past a single class into schools across the area.

The next one.
Back to a country and western theme, in Dallas, Texas, in May 2027. The exact date and venue are announced once the venue is signed.
What stays the same
One beneficiary, every edition, since the first night in 2025. The fundraiser page stays public, so the number is never ours alone to claim. What we publish, and when.
