With more than 406 million streams and counting, the bluesy and brutally honest anthem debuted at #1 on both iTunes’ Country and All Genre singles charts, and now leads Beckham’s first album, Bad for Me, available now, as the emerging star finds his stride. Co-writing nine of 13 songs (three solo), the project shows Beckham opening his soul like most would never dare and embracing a timeless country-rock sound defined by fiddles, steel guitar, and plenty of against-the-grain attitude. With dusky shades of heroes like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson, the set aims to reinforce next-big-thing and ‘artist to watch’ predictions from CMT, Amazon Music, MusicRow, and more. Headlining his own ‘Bad For Me’ tour, while joining Luke Bryan this summer and Parker McCollum this fall, Beckham delivers his next Wheelhouse Records single with the effervescent, feel-good track ‘Everything I Need,’ climbing the country radio charts now.
The theme for this year’s event is Classical Roots and Western Boots and proceeds will support the Teacher Excellence Fund, which provides bonus compensation every December to reward and retain the best Great Hearts teachers across Arizona.
This signature event is the largest fundraiser for the Teacher Excellence Fund, giving Great Hearts Academies the opportunity to reward the Arizona teachers who worked harder than ever this year. Last year’s gala raised over $1.3 million which provided 885 Arizona teachers with bonus compensation this past December. This fall, the signature event aims to do the same with the sole purpose of putting even more money in the pockets of the teachers.
This year’s 2024 Co-Chairs are Tom and Valerie Spengler who have two kids at Great Hearts Cicero and Anthony & Desarae Puchta with four kids at Great Hearts Glendale. Together, they are an incredible force for good. Through their leadership and personal sponsorship, the Spenglers and Puchtas will lead the charge to raise $1 million to continue to keep the very best teachers in the classroom.
The Gala is made possible thanks to the following generous sponsors: Great Clips, Casas Bonitas, Copa Health, Headfarmer, Coffin & Trout Fine Jewellers, Baird, Lerner & Rowe Gives Back, The Gilb/Moore Family, Pace Group Media, The Quayle Family, Marsh McLennan, Fester & Chapman, Arizona Bank & Trust, Renovation Orthopaedics, Cigna, HUB International, The Puchta Family, The Spengler Family, Biltmore Pro Print, Delta Dental, Margaret T.
