The ‘Neil Forever’ 2026 ‘Love at the Greek’ tour will celebrate Neil Diamond’s 50th anniversary of his iconic Greek Theatre performance and will be the pinnacle of a multi-city celebration – each aligning with Drive Toward a Cure to support Parkinson’s disease.
LOS ANGELES – September 25, 2025 – Celebrating the enduring power of Music & Motion™, national nonprofit Drive Toward a Cure —which has raised nearly $1.3 million since its inception in 2016, (primarily through the generosity of the enthusiast and professional automotive community at large), to support those affected by Parkinson’s disease—has been named the charitable beneficiary of a special tribute concert honoring the 50th anniversary of Neil Diamond’s legendary 1976 performance at the Greek Theatre. Presented by the acclaimed Neil Forever ensemble, the one-night-only event will take place April 25, 2026, at the very same venue, bringing together music lovers and philanthropists alike to commemorate an historic musical milestone while driving forward a meaningful cause.
The Neil Forever tribute concert will re-create the magical music of Diamond’s unforgettable 1976 tour stop at the iconic Los Angeles venue, with a full 14-piece live band and immersive stage experience. The event is expected to draw fans from across the country, as well as those who were at the original performance, to celebrate Diamond’s enduring legacy while contributing to a cause close to the hearts of many, including Diamond himself, who recently went public with his own diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
“We’re honored to be part of such a meaningful celebration that blends nostalgia, music, and purpose,” said Deb Pollack, founder of Drive Toward a Cure. “Neil Diamond’s timeless music has brought joy to generations, and now, through this tribute, it will also help bring hope to the Parkinson’s community—a cause that challenges Diamond himself and deeply connects with both our mission and our supporters.”
Proceeds from the evening will benefit Drive Toward a Cure’s ongoing efforts to fund Parkinson’s research, patient care initiatives, and therapeutic programs nationwide. The event also reflects the organization’s signature Music & Motion™ philosophy—uniting the emotional power of music with the forward momentum of advocacy and action.
Pollack emphasized Drive Toward a Cure’s mission to unite Cars and Camaraderie®, using the passion within the automotive community to drive awareness and fundraising for Parkinson’s disease. She noted that the foundation’s connection with Neil Forever founder and lead performer David Jacobson is a prime example of how those shared values can grow into meaningful partnerships. The two first met through their mutual involvement in the Porsche community and quickly bonded—not just over a love of cars and music, but through a deeply personal connection, having each lost a parent to the challenges of Parkinson’s.
