Venturing into philanthropy, Claptone is now using his musical influence for a cause beyond the dance floor. Demonstrating his belief in the unifying power of music, the renowned DJ is set to headline the TILT Cares Holiday Ball in collaboration with No Kid Hungry and TILT. The event is to be a groundbreaking charitable initiative addressing the pressing issue of child hunger.
Scheduled for December 2, 2023, at 10 PM, the Brooklyn Navy Yard will transform into a gathering place for both music enthusiasts and philanthropists. What sets this event apart is the altruistic gesture of Claptone and his guest artists. Those participating have graciously agreed to perform without charge, with their fees being donated to the cause.
The noteworthy aspect of the TILT Cares Holiday Ball lies in its affordability and immediate impact. Tickets for this exceptional event start at a modest $20, allowing a diverse audience to partake in the noble cause. Particularly commendable is the allocation of a substantial 70% of the proceeds from ticket sales directly to No Kid Hungry.
To ensure we make the impact we want, in time for the coldest part of the year, when things are toughest for families, all of my guests and I will play for free – absolutely nothing – and are asking TILT – the promoter of the show – to donate what would have been our fees as well as a percentage of ticket sales to No Kids Hungry. This is about us coming together and doing something for kids this season because no child deserves to go hungry.

This considerable contribution will play a pivotal role in supporting No Kid Hungry’s mission during the challenging winter season. The organization’s work extends beyond the event, concentrating on providing complimentary meals to schools across the nation and advocating for policies that endorse healthy child development.
