benefit show
Donation-driven entertainment event
A benefit show is a performance—concert, comedy night, theatrical production—organized to raise money for a charitable cause or someone in need.
The proceeds go to the beneficiary rather than the performers: Local bands are playing a benefit show for the family who lost their home in the fire.
Also called a benefit concert or simply a benefit.
