On September 19, 2025, The Kirkland Group, Cleveland Empowerment Foundation and Alcorn State University partnered to present An Evening with Jamal Roberts at the Jackson Convention Center in downtown Jackson, Mississippi. The highly anticipated event was completely sold out, drawing a packed audience eager to experience the talent of the American Idol winner. Jamal Roberts delivered a masterful performance, singing a range of selections that included his American Idol classics, powerful gospel numbers, and soul-stirring R&B favorites. His artistry and stage presence kept the audience engaged from beginning to end, creating an unforgettable night of music and inspiration.
The energy in the room was electric as fans joined together to celebrate not only the music but also the spirit of community. The concert served as more than just entertainment—it was also a testament to the impact of collaboration between organizations committed to education and culture. At the conclusion of the evening, The Kirkland Group proudly presented Alcorn State University’s Athletics Department with a $25,000 donation. This contribution reflects their ongoing dedication to empowering students, supporting athletics, and building stronger educational opportunities. The event was a true success, uniting music, community, and philanthropy in one memorable night.
