Alicia Keys, Jay-Z and Sade will all grace the stage at the 7th annual Black Ball NY at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. The event, which is mounted by Keys’ Keep a Child Alive organization, will take place September 30.

“Sade? Jay-Z? Both icons and both major influences of mine. I am overwhelmed by their generosity in helping us continue the tradition of making the Black Ball the best fundraiser in NYC,” Keys said in a statement. “There are more surprises coming up! Stay tuned!”

KCA also organized the Black Ball London this past May, where U.K. group Kasabian and British singer Bryan Ferry performed. The organization helps families struggling with HIV/AIDS throughout India and Africa and, since 2004, has generated more than $10 million.
