Holiday Express, the big-hearted nonprofit organization based in Eatontown, will host a festive benefit show at the Count Basie Center for the Arts. This musical extravaganza is not just about heartwarming entertainment; it's a chance to impact the lives of our community's most vulnerable.

Ticket purchases for the Holiday Express show become the gift of holiday joy to those in need. It’s a chance to support a nonprofit organization that works tirelessly to brighten the spirits of 30,000 children and adults facing mental and physical challenges, serious illness, homelessness, food insecurity, isolation, and other struggles

Founded by Little Silver musician and restaurateur Tim McLoone in 1993, Holiday Express spreads kindness across the tri-state region, reaching those often forgotten during the holiday season.

The Basie benefit show, presented by sponsor Stillwell-Hansen Inc., is one of the nonprofit’s most significant fundraisers.

Enjoy a captivating performance by a troupe of 50 talented musicians and singers who will share their unique mix of traditional, gospel and rock’n soul holiday music. The show also includes beloved costumed characters such as Elmo, the Grinch, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets range from $25 to $125 and can be purchased at thebasie.org/events/holiday-express-3.
