Chase Rice will headline the 17th annual Evening of Inspiration: Chasing A Cure, a concert benefiting Huntington’s disease research, on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the Fishers Event Center. Indiana native Clayton Anderson will join Rice as a special guest for the event.
Presented by the Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation, the annual concert and gala raises funds to support research aimed at finding a cure for Huntington’s disease, a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder. Since its founding, the nonprofit has donated more than $3.6 million toward Huntington’s research.
Tickets for the concert go on sale Friday, January 23, at 10 a.m. and will be available through FishersEventCenter.com.
“This event reminds us what is possible when hope, music and purpose meet,” said Lisa Rump, gala committee co-chair for the foundation. “Together, we are not just raising funds—we are fueling real progress, honoring families affected and moving one step closer to the future Bev dreamed of.”
Rice is a multi-platinum country music artist with a career spanning more than 15 years. He first gained widespread recognition as a songwriter on the Diamond-certified hit “Cruise” before launching a successful solo career that includes multiple No. 1 singles such as “Eyes On You” and “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” Rice has sold out tours worldwide and shared stadium stages with artists including Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney. His most recent album, ELDORA, reflects a more stripped-down, independent approach to songwriting inspired by the American West.
Anderson, a Southern Indiana native, has built a national following rooted in Midwest sensibilities. He won Kenny Chesney’s Next Big Star competition in 2008 and has since released several albums while touring with major country acts including Eric Church, Blake Shelton and Jason Aldean. His music has also been featured in national campaigns and sports broadcasts on ESPN and through partnerships with brands such as Ford.
The Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation was established in 2011 and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Inspired by the late Bev Hartig, who was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease, the foundation focuses on education, funding innovative research and maintaining awareness that a cure is achievable. Its flagship Evening of Inspiration event has grown into one of the organization’s most significant annual fundraisers.
