The celebration is the only inspirational music concert that has aired on ESPN, and has been named by USA Today as “One of the Best Super Bowl Events to Attend.” Every year the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration has donated a portion of its proceeds and over 4,000 tickets to local and national charities.
