Le Freak, C'est Chic! The Tobin Goes Disco! Featuring Nile Rodgers & CHIC

We are thrilled to announce our most dazzling night of the year: The Tobin Center’s 2025 Benefit Concert, presented by The Will Smith Foundation. On Saturday, November 1, 2025, the legendary Nile Rodgers & CHIC will take the stage for an unforgettable night of grooves, glamour, and giving back, a celebration you won’t want to miss.

All proceeds from the 2025 Benefit Concert support The Tobin Center’s Generation NEXT Education Initiative and community outreach programs. Thanks to our loyal supporters, last year we raised over $530,000. 

The Tobin Center’s education initiative connects education and the arts, promoting creative classrooms and culturally relevant learning. Generation NEXT removes barriers to arts participation by providing inclusive and diverse educational and artistic experiences to more than 50,000 annually.

In 2024 alone, we opened our doors 69 times for free community events, providing access to the arts to 76 different zip codes and nearly 13,000 individuals in San Antonio and the surrounding areas.

Sponsor the 2025 Benefit Concert and support the arts you love! To secure your table or underwriting opportunity, please email [email protected] or call Brianna Pacheco, Director of Corporate Partnerships, at 210.212.0912.
