Loe Shimmy to give 20 cancer survivors $400 shopping sprees in Fort Lauderdale

South Florida artist Loe Shimmy will honor 20 cancer survivors on Sept. 24 with shopping sprees, concert tickets and a community event in Fort Lauderdale. The activation kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness Month and links his tour stop to a two-day celebration of survivors.

Why it matters: - The event puts $8,000 in direct support into the hands of 20 South Florida cancer survivors. - The giveaway pairs practical help with public recognition for women navigating illness, treatment and recovery. - The activation also ties a local music tour stop to Breast Cancer Awareness Month and survivor support.

What happened: - Loe Shimmy will host “Pretty From the Inside Out” on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale. - The event is set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Walmart, 2500 W. Broward Boulevard. - Loe Shimmy is joining Nana’s House Behavioral Health, NETL Management, Ella’s Day, SouthPromo.com, DJ Nasty of Cox Media Group’s 99 Jamz and Humble Religion for the event. - Twenty South Florida cancer survivors will each receive a $400 shopping spree. - Each survivor will also get two tickets to Loe Shimmy’s “Pretty Girls Run the World Tour” concert on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, at MIDLINE Miami in Wynwood. - The concert starts at 8 p.m. and serves as a South Florida tour stop for the Broward County artist.

The details: - Organizers say the shopping spree is meant to center joy, confidence, compassion and community. - Survivors will be able to choose items for themselves and their families. - The event will kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, observed nationally in October. - The activation will honor women who have survived different forms of cancer, not only breast cancer. - Survivors will be identified through a community nomination effort that invites South Florida residents to nominate someone deserving or nominate themselves. - Each survivor may bring a guest to the concert the following night. - Organizers want the two-day experience to give survivors a break from the pressures tied to illness and recovery. - “Pretty From the Inside Out” continues the work of Ella’s Day, an annual South Florida initiative focused on pampering, uplifting and celebrating cancer fighters and survivors. - SouthPromo.com says the effort has helped create supportive spaces centered on dignity, care and personal connection.

Between the lines: - The event blends philanthropy and promotion, but the main payoff is community visibility for survivors who are often celebrated privately rather than publicly. - Loe Shimmy is using a home-market tour date to extend the message of his tour beyond entertainment and into local impact. - The format suggests organizers want the experience to feel memorable, not transactional.

What they're saying: - Jason Jimeno, owner of Nana’s House Behavioral Health, said the effort is meant to show support in ways survivors can “see, feel and remember.” - Jimeno said the women have already shown “incredible strength” and deserve to be reminded they are supported, appreciated and never alone. - Loe Shimmy said he wants the survivors to have “a night filled with happiness” and to know their stories matter. - Jessica Williams, CEO of SouthPromo.com, said the event is about “filling a room with joy, encouragement and love.”

What's next: - Community nominations will determine the 20 survivors recognized at the event. - Media outlets can request attendance, interviews or more information from Jessica Williams at info@southpromo.com or 954-560-4812.
