Patti LaBelle to Headline Benefit Concert for SHAPE Community Center at the Historic Eldorado Ballroom

An unforgettable evening of music will help SHAPE finish its restoration campaign strong and reopen its Live Oak location.

SHAPE Community Center is thrilled to welcome legendary singer Patti LaBelle for a special benefit concert on October 22 at 6:00 PM at Houston’s historic Eldorado Ballroom.

This extraordinary evening will bring together music, community, and purpose as SHAPE works toward an important milestone: completing our restoration campaign and reopening our Live Oak location by November 1.

For generations, SHAPE Community Center has been a home for culture, education, community empowerment, and collective action. The restoration of our Live Oak location represents more than the reopening of a building—it is about ensuring that SHAPE continues to have a permanent home where future generations can learn, gather, celebrate, organize, and grow.

And there could hardly be a more fitting artist to help us celebrate this moment than Patti LaBelle.

A Legendary Voice for a Powerful Cause

Known around the world for her unmistakable voice, electrifying performances, and decades-long musical legacy, Patti LaBelle has inspired generations through songs that have become part of the soundtrack of American music.

On October 22, that legendary voice will fill another legendary Houston space: the historic Eldorado Ballroom.

The evening will be more than a concert. It will be a celebration of SHAPE’s history, the strength of our community, and what becomes possible when people come together to preserve institutions that matter.

Every ticket purchased helps SHAPE move closer to the finish line of our restoration campaign and prepares us to welcome the community home to Live Oak.

Help Us Finish Strong

We are entering the final stretch.

Our goal is to reopen SHAPE’s Live Oak location by November 1, and this benefit concert represents an opportunity for longtime supporters, friends, families, community members, and new supporters alike to be part of this historic moment.

Come experience Patti LaBelle live. Come celebrate SHAPE. Come celebrate Houston’s rich cultural legacy. Most importantly, come help us finish this restoration campaign strong.
