Event attendees will enjoy a live broadcast on 97.9 WJLB from 10am-5pm, with live artist appearances and performances throughout the day. A donation of $25 or a new coat each donation participant will receive one-hour of free play (excluding arcade) to Universal Nonstop.

Celebrity appearances will include urban artists Tee Grizzley, Skilla Baby, and Sada Baby. Special guest appearances from Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield as well as the Detroit Pistons Dancers and the Detroit Pistons mascot Hooper.
