BETHLEHEM, PA — The Judith Adele Agentis Charitable Foundation (JAACF) will present internationally acclaimed performer Ciarán Sheehan as the featured entertainer at its annual dinner benefit, High Notes, on Saturday, March 28, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at Northampton Country Club in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Sheehan, best known for more than 1,000 performances in the starring role of The Phantom of the Opera, will headline the evening’s program. Proceeds from the gala and auction directly support JAACF’s charitable initiatives.

“This is more than a performance — it is a meaningful intersection of artistry and purpose,” said Robert Agentis, Founder and Chairman of the Judith Adele Agentis Charitable Foundation. “We are profoundly grateful to Ciarán Sheehan and our sponsors for bringing extraordinary talent to an evening dedicated to advancing palliative care education and expanding cancer research.”

This spring marks the launch of the JAACF Pancreatic & Oncological Research Fund at St. Luke’s University Health Network, strengthening the Foundation’s commitment to medical innovation and patient-centered care.

The gala evening will begin with a cocktail reception featuring hors d’oeuvres and steel drum music by The Big Wahu Caribbean Band. Following a seated dinner, remarks will be delivered by Dr. Erin Bendas and Dr. Henna Cebeci of St. Luke’s University Health Network, with Kelly Chando serving as emcee. After Sheehan’s performance, guests will enjoy dancing to live music by Phase Four featuring the vocals of Emmitt Harris, with Joe Mixon and band members.

Founded in 2013, JAACF has contributed more than $50,000 to initiatives including the Judith Adele Agentis Palliative Care Education Fund and the JAACF Fellowship for Advanced Practitioners, established in 2020. The Foundation has also delivered more than 35,000 meals to St. Luke’s Hospice House on Black River Road in Bethlehem.
