For the past 15 years, the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration has brought faith, football and gospel music together to kick off Super Bowl weekend.

On Friday, January 31, 2014, the 15th Annual NFL Sanctioned Super Bowl Gospel Celebration will be in New York City, kicking-off XLVIII weekend at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Sponsored by American Family Insurance, this year’s concert will bring GRAMMY Award-winning artists, church and faith leaders and special guests to one stage to give audiences a show to remember.

The headliner of this milestone event will be legendary entertainer and GRAMMY Award-winner Patti Labelle. She will be joined by powerhouses Mary Mary, Natalie Grant and Tamela Mann. These leading ladies of Christian music will be joined by GRAMMY Award-winning Gospel artist and Pastor of Perfecting Faith Church in New York, Donnie McClurkin, and the NFL Player’s Choir, which is exclusively composed of current and former NFL players.

Melanie Few-Harrison, Creator and Executive Producer of Super Bowl Gospel Celebration, talked about this milestone 15th year, saying, "This year we celebrate the 15th Anniversary of bringing even more power and celebration to one of the biggest events of the year — the Super Bowl. Each year we aim to make the concert bigger than the last with artists and special guests from all backgrounds and this year will be no different! Super Bowl XLVIII in New York will be our biggest yet!"

Since its inception in 1999, the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration has donated a portion of its proceeds and more than 5,500 tickets to local and national charities. This year’s benefactor is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Tickets to the concert are currently available for purchase on www.ticketmaster.com. The show will air in national syndication over broadcast television stations in February 2014. Air dates and local listings to be announced.
