Grammy Award-winning artist Shaggy and reggae singer Lila Iké are set to headline the 20th anniversary of the annual “For The Children” charity event, slated for Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Couples Sans Souci.
The event is hosted by the Issa Trust Foundation, the charitable arm of Couples Resorts. The foundation is focused on raising funds to support health initiatives for Jamaican children, including the construction of the Mary Issa Pediatric and Adolescent Health Centre near Ocho Rios. The Centre is named in honor of Mary Brimo Issa, wife of Couples Resorts founder Elias Abraham Issa.
"Over the past two decades, the Issa Trust Foundation has been integral in changing countless lives across Jamaica. We're honored to have Shaggy joining us to support our mission this year – it’s going to be a memorable and magical evening", said Paul Issa, Chairman of the Issa Trust Foundation. “Our 2023 concert raised approximately $400,000. We aim to surpass that this year as we strive to reach our goal in securing the remaining funds to complete the Health Centre."

The 9,000-square-foot facility will address a major healthcare gap in the St. Mary and St. Ann areas by offering primary care services in a child- and family-friendly setting. The Mary Issa Health Centre will welcome patients from across the island and provide opportunities for U.S. doctors to work alongside local practitioners through a rotation program.
Early Bird tickets are available until April 1, starting at $250 for VIP and $350 for V-VIP. Perks include early access, front-and-center stage seating, and a private pre-concert cocktail reception.
Pre-sale tickets are now on sale, priced at $300 for VIP and $400 for V-VIP. Both options come with Couples Resorts’ signature all-inclusive hospitality, featuring a gourmet menu and top-shelf spirits.
