On Saturday, July 19, 2025, the historic Mount Eden Mansion came alive with the sounds of music, laughter, and community spirit for Jutopia 2025 — a family-friendly fundraiser honoring the vibrant legacy of Justin R.A. Ross. Friends, families, and neighbors gathered on a sunlit afternoon to enjoy a day filled with joy, purpose, and togetherness, all in support of scholarships for youth sports programs through the H.A.R.D. Foundation.

The celebration featured an incredible lineup of performers, including Jackson Stone, MoBlu, 42K.LIL, ZO1Love, and Lakeside5inco, whose music kept the energy high and the crowd dancing throughout the day. Children delighted in hands-on recreational activities, while guests enjoyed delicious food, performances, and the stunning beauty of Mount Eden Park.

This year’s event was made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: California Wellness Foundation, Kazan McClain Satterley & Greenwood, Maria Gitman, Jevon Holland, Etna Laura Ford Ross, Ron Chandler, Lauren Gordon, James Jackson, Dr. Michael and Denise LeNoir, and Cupcakin Bake Shop.

More than just a concert, Jutopia was a heartfelt tribute to Justin’s extraordinary life — one that continues to inspire the next generation. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, sponsors, and volunteers, the event raised critical funds to ensure parks, programs, and recreation remain accessible and vibrant for everyone in our community.

Thank you to all who joined us in making Jutopia 2025 a day to remember. Your support not only honors a beloved legacy but also uplifts the youth of Hayward and beyond.
