Songwriter Shane Stevens, organized the event as a tribute to George Michael and his elementary school teacher, who while hearing George’s song on he radio, told Shane, who was being bullied as a child, that he was amazing and he was going to be just like George Michael one day. Shane credits George as an inspiration to him.
