The upcoming Daybreak breakfast party at Sabina Park this Sunday, December 21, will serve a dual purpose of celebration and humanitarian aid following Hurricane Melissa’s devastating impact on Jamaica. Event organizers announced a significant portion of proceeds will be directed toward hurricane relief efforts after several team members and community partners experienced direct effects from the natural disaster.
Jywanza Hall, a director of the Daybreak event, emphasized the gathering’s fundamental community ethos in statements to the Jamaica Observer’s Splash. “Daybreak has always been about community, not just celebration. After the hurricane we knew many of our patrons, partners, and wider Jamaican family were directly affected. Giving back wasn’t an add-on, it was a responsibility,” Hall explained, framing the initiative as an organic response to national need rather than detached philanthropy.
The event will feature an elite musical lineup including Coppershot Sound with DJ Cutty and Kitt, DJ Franco and Brush1, DJ Jigga, A-Team, Nico Lee and DJ Insaneo. These performers will guide attendees through a sonic journey from nostalgic classics to contemporary anthems, maintaining the event’s signature high-energy yet sophisticated atmosphere.
This special staging marks Daybreak’s 10th anniversary with elevated production elements including premium culinary experiences, immersive décor, and carefully curated sensory moments. Hall noted the intentional design of “surprise ‘wow’ moments throughout the event” aimed at providing attendees with temporary respite and emotional uplift amid recovery efforts.
The transformation of this celebration into a relief mechanism represents what Hall describes as “support coming from within the same shared experience”—a demonstration of community solidarity following natural disaster.
