Chance The Rapper knows how to throw a party. The Chicago rapper announced he's headlining a special 50th anniversary celebration for the Special Olympics in his hometown, and he's invited Usher, Daya, Jason Mraz, Francis & The Lights, Smokey Robinson, O.A.R. and more to join him.
The event will be held July 21 at Chicago's Huntington Park Pavilion on Northerly Island, and will be aimed at raising funds for the Special Olympics, who celebrate their 50-year anniversary in 2018 of providing opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.

The Special Olympics are, according to their website, "the world’s largest sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities: with more than 4.9 million athletes in 172 countries -- and over a million volunteers."
This is far from the first time Chance has lent a helping hand in Chicago. In March 2017, he announced the generous donation of $1 million to Chicago Public Schools Foundation to help enrich local arts and educational programs.
Tickets for this day-long show benefitting the Special Olympics range in price from $50 to $150 and can be purchased via LiveNation's website.
