Nightly Raises Over $62,000 for Make-A-Wish North Texas With Sold-Out Graduation Concert
Nightly, the youth-led event platform founded by Dallas entrepreneur Thomas Owen, raised $62,180 for Make-A-Wish North Texas through a sold-out Graduation Concert at Gilley's Southside Ballroom. Over 3,000 students from 40 high schools attended the event, which featured rising country artist Ty Myers. Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX, Texas, United States, June 23, 2025 -- Last month, over 3,000 students representing more than 40 high schools across the Dallas-Fort Worth area came together for something that was much more than a graduation celebration. The Graduation Concert, produced by Nightly, raised $62,180 for Make-A-Wish North Texas. The event was hosted at Gilley's Southside Ballroom and featured a live performance from 17-year-old country artis Ty Myers with millions of monthly listeners on Spotify. Nightly, founded by Dallas entrepreneur Thomas Owen, claims not to be 'just another event company.' It is recognized as a platform that merges cultural moments with real impact, designed to show a new generation how celebration and contribution can exist in the same space. The Graduation Concert proved that it is possible to make noise and make a difference at the same time. The $62,180 raised will help grant life-changing wishes to children battling critical illnesses. On May 10th, just hours after the concert, Make-A-Wish North Texas CEO Kim Elenez took the stage at the nonprofit's annual gala and publicly recognized Thomas's work. The check was later presented at the Make-A-Wish North Texas headquarters. 'Thomas had an idea as a high school senior that giving should be a part of his life work, so last night he hosted the largest graduation party of all time benefitting Make-A-Wish,' said Kim Elenez to a full ballroom at Wish Night at the Omni Hotel in Dallas. Behind the scenes, the event took months of planning and relied on a growing team of passionate students and young leaders. Every detail, from ambassador recruitment to event logistics, was handled with intention. What made this night special wasn't just the lights, the music, or the packed venue. It was the deeper belief that young people could lead, inspire, and create lasting change. Nightly is building more than concerts. It is shaping an ecosystem where students are not just attendees but contributors. Where every event, every role, every piece of media feeds a broader movement. Nightly is laying the foundation for something that will expand far beyond Dallas, blending live events, digital storytelling, and community engagement into a brand new category. As word spreads, Nightly continues to gain momentum from students, parents, artists, and nonprofits who see what it stands for. There is an unmistakable energy surrounding what was built on May 9th, and that energy is already fueling what comes next. This fall, Nightly will take its vision on the road with the launch of the Nightly College Tour, a multi-city experience designed to bring that same blend of celebration and impact to campuses across the country. The tour marks the next chapter in Nightly's mission: to turn unforgettable nights into unforgettable change. About the company: Nightly is a cultural event platform creating unforgettable experiences through live music, digital storytelling, and community-driven energy. Based in Dallas, Nightly has quickly grown into a movement with a loyal audience across high schools and colleges. From major graduation concerts to the upcoming Nightly College Tour, the brand is building an ecosystem where entertainment, influence, and impact intersect. Learn more at or follow @nightlyplatform.

After Four Months Under Wraps, F.F.O Sets to Unveil New MV《大丈夫》from Japan Ski Trip
TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 18 June 2025 - Emerging as champions of the hit Taiwanese talent show《Atom Boyz 2》, the boy group F.F.O officially debuted at the end of 2024 during the Graduation Concert. Their debut track《腦袋漂流記》received glowing reviews from fans, and their first album, now available for pre-order, has already seen impressive sales. With strong fan support at every appearance, from pop-up events to brand promotions, F.F.O is quickly becoming one of Taiwan's most popular new idol groups. Their popularity even reached Japan, with digital billboards in Shinjuku drawing fans eager to catch a glimpse of the group. Just two months after their debut, F.F.O was invited to Japan to collaborate with renowned ski brand Ski Addicts as ambassadors for a special ski campaign. The members went to Echigo-Yuzawa for a 6-day skiing trip. Not only did they enjoy the snow scene to the fullest, the group also surprised fans by shooting a brand-new music video《大丈夫》. With a tight schedule and nonstop energy, F.F.O showed remarkable dedication and professionalism. The 《大丈夫》 MV is styled as a travel diary with a carefully written story behind it, capturing the group's most authentic moments. Fans will see the members handing out their group logo stickers in Akihabara, bravely introducing themselves to locals while having their most genuine reaction captured by cameras. Of course, their snow-filled adventures also made it into the MV—featuring playful snowball fights, GoPro-filmed moments, and even ice cream in the freezing cold. The result is a heartfelt visual journey that feels like a personal postcard from F.F.O to their fans. The MV was entirely shot in Japan. It captures the romantic encounter between F.F.O and the snow, and the highlights and memories of the Journey. 'This MV is like a snapshot of our trip, full of fun and challenges. Stay tuned!' the members shared. The MV shoot spanned both Tokyo and Niigata, meaning that the F.F.O members had to rush between locations day and night. Not only did they finish the MV shooting in Akihabara and Echigo-Yuzawa, they even squeezed in a final shoot at Ueno Park for social media content just a day before they returned to Taiwan. Despite the intense schedule and freezing temperatures, they still gave it their all and showed impeccable professionalism to deliver the best possible visuals to their dedicated fans. Now, several months after the shoot, F.F.O is thrilled to finally share《大丈夫》with fans. More behind the scenes footage and details will be revealed soon, so fans are encouraged to pay close attention to F.F.O's official social media accounts to witness the exciting results of their very first trip since debut!
