Speaker of the House Juliet Holness will make her grand return to the stage, while Leader of the Opposition Mark Golding and Minister of Tourism Ed Bartlett will debut their acts on the Powerful Women and Men Perform for Charity show set for Sunday, June 21, 2026.

Showtime is 7:00 pm in Karl Hendricks Auditorium at Jamaica College.

Other first-timers on the show will include Dr Maria Myers-Hamilton, managing director of Spectrum Management Authority, while popular sets booked to return include Cordel Green, executive director, Broadcasting Commission, as the hilarious Bling Church Pastor; and Hugh Falconer, commissioner of Independent Commission of Investigations (Indecom), who has built a following for his singing ability.

In addition, a number of other personalities from the public and private sectors have registered to reveal their entertainment skills to help raise funds for Mustard Seed Communities (MSC), which cares for nearly 500 abandoned children living in 12 homes on the island.

Set design will be by Kevin Rettie and Delano McFarlane; audio visual services will be provided by Viva Events, Kinematix/Bloozick; with Musical Director Ewan Simpson, chairman of the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association.

Over the years, the Powerful Women and Men Perform for Charity show has raised over $80 million for MSC through the popular event, founded by Thyra Heaven, former director of fund-raising for MSC.

Powerful Women and Men took a break following the COVID-19 pandemic, but with a revised programme and introduction of new talent has promised its loyal patrons and new ones an even more exciting event this year.

For years the show remained high on the list of entertainment events as patrons look forward to being thrilled by the talent of the island’s business people and leaders.

For Father Garvin Augustine, executive director of MSC International, the return of the show is exciting for the organisation. He said the event not only contributes well-needed funds for the operations of the facilities, but the brand has been instrumental in bringing awareness to the work of the MSC and encouraging local and international individuals, as well as corporate Jamaica, to donate.

“We are excited and grateful for the return of the show and we look forward with renewed interest to the support we will get to care for the nation’s vulnerable,” said Father Augustine.
