The City of North Miami will come alive during the WE ARE FAMILY Super Bowl FEST at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Plaze on February 3, with superstar performers Sister Sledge, BeBe Winans and Bishop Paul Morton from the Baptist Church Fellowship.

"It is all about community and being part of a family," says Sister Sledge who originally recorded "We Are Family" in 1979.

Bishop Paul Morton is a world-renowned singer, in addition to being a dynamic preacher and most proficient teacher . In 1999, Bishop Morton released his nationally recognized solo CD (album) entitled "Crescent City Fire." Included among his other musical accomplishments are five albums with the Greater St. Stephen Mass Choir and two recordings with the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship Mass Choir. He was also featured on the all-star recording of the hit song, "Something Inside So Strong" a tribute to Rosa Parks.

BeBe Winans, a groundbreaking inspirational, R&B, and Gospel vocalist, writer, and producer, who has won four Grammy Awards, ten Dove Awards, six Stellar Awards, two NAACP Awards and a Soul Train Award will also be at the event. A multi faceted artist, BeBe not only has a successful recording career, but also recently launched a syndicated radio show and returned to acting in both film and theater.
Other performing artists include AyaBombe , The Branches, Dinggin, Heart and Sol, Lee's Day Band, Malyrie, Rorin Taeko Japanese Drummers and Tama Leao’s Polynesian Dancers.

"We are launching the 'WE ARE FAMILY' CD at the Super Bowl FEST to benefit displaced hurricane victims, and to support family strengthening and disaster preparedness all over the United States," says Robert Goodwin, President and CEO of Points of Light Foundation that is heading the initiative.

The Super Bowl Fest is sponsored by NANAY and the City of North Miami, in partnership with Magic Johnson Foundation and Points of Light Foundation.
