What Is Do Good Fest
Do Good Fest is National Life Group's annual benefit concert series that combines live music with community giving. Since expanding to Texas in 2021, the event has raised more than $300,000 to help children and families across North Texas while supporting the company's mission to end childhood hunger and address youth mental health.
General admission tickets for Do Good Fest are $20 in advance and $25 at the gate, with additional donations encouraged. Children aged 5 and under will receive free entry and do not need a ticket to enter the festival. Ticket information and event updates may be found at www.dogoodfest.com/texas.
Do Good Fest VIP Experience
In addition to the general admission experience, Do Good Fest also offers a VIP upgrade in the Levitt Pavilion, which includes:
Exclusive access to air-conditioned VIP lounge with elevated stage views
Open bar and upscale food offerings
Extra-comfortable seating and private restrooms
VIP parking steps away from the festival entrance
VIP tickets are available for $200 and may be purchased at www.dogoodfest.com/texas.
"Do Good Fest is about more than bringing people together for a great night of music; it's about creating meaningful impact for families in our communities," said John Mullett, President of the National Life Group Foundation. "At National Life Group, we are deeply invested in youth mental health and ending childhood hunger, that is why we are pleased to support Tarrant Area Food Bank’s Ready to Learn initiative. The work the program does provides children access to nutritious meals and the support they need to thrive both mentally and physically. Every ticket purchased and every dollar donated helps move us closer to a future where no child has to worry about where their next meal will come from.”
Beats for Good
Do Good Fest includes Beats for Good, National Life Group's annual high school music recognition program that celebrates student musicians across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. One lucky band or musician will earn the opportunity to perform on the Do Good Fest stage, receiving a $1,500 cash prize and a $5,000 donation to its school's music program. The winner will be announced in early October after an internal selection process.
“Closing out the Levitt season with Do Good Fest has become one of our favorite traditions," said Angela Peña, Executive Director of Levitt Arlington. "Where else can you enjoy favorite artists like Barenaked Ladies and Lisa Loeb for just $20 and sing along to the songs you know and love? Best of all, thanks to National Life's generous support, all proceeds from your ticket purchase benefit Tarrant Area Food Bank. It's going to be a fun, memorable evening, and we encourage everyone to buy early because we anticipate tickets will sell quickly."
