Derek Jeter, AKA Mr. November, Is Hosting a Musical Night With a ‘September’ Band for His Turn 2 Foundation

On October 31st, 2001, the New York Yankees faced the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 4 of the World Series. The two teams were tied in the 10th inning until Derek Jeter stood true to his nickname of ‘Captain Clutch’ and smashed a home run. The Yankees won and Jeter earned himself a new nickname – Mr. November, because the clock had struck midnight. He has since achieved countless accolades and earned numerous titles. But one that he’s most proud of is how his non-profit organization has continued to grow.

The Turn 2 Foundation often joins hands with celebrities in order to bring awareness to their cause. Their aim is to turn kids away from unhealthy lifestyles to healthier ones. This time, the organization, as well as its founder, is collaborating for a musical night.

Mr. November is joining a ‘September’ band in August

Autumn is a popular season in the country and September is most people’s favorite month. A song named after brown month can often be heard blasting from social media at that time of the year. The popular artist is Earth, Wind, and Fire, a band formed in 1969 but still wildly popular. In a few months, near the end of summer, the musical group will perform in Bridgeport.

On August 14th, Earth, Wind, and Fire are set to host a concert in the Connecticut city at Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater. Jeter will also be on stage, but as he hilariously informed fans via an Instagram post, not for the musical part of the night. Rather, he will answer some fan questions during a Q&A session.

Howard Saffan, President of the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater, said that they had reached out to Jeter in hopes of making the night a fundraiser. A plan more than 18 months in the making, partial profits from the show will go to the Turn 2 Foundation.

As he looks forward to the event in August, the MLB Hall of Famer is going back to his baseball roots soon.

Ever since hanging up his jersey in 2014, Jeter has kept in touch with his beloved sport in some way. Early this year, he announced that he would be joining the FOX Sports crew as an MLB analyst. Although his schedule is slim, fans can expect to see him at the All-Star game in July and during the postseason.
