The Pennsylvania-born rock star and entrepreneur joins “The Biggest Night Out in PA” headlined by fellow Pennsylvania native Kevin Hart

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry today announced a huge addition to its 42nd Annual Dinner on Monday, October 5 at the Hershey Lodge: Pennsylvania native Bret Michaels will join keynote speaker Kevin Hart for an unforgettable evening celebrating success, entrepreneurship, and Pennsylvania pride.

“We’re excited to welcome Bret Michaels back home to Pennsylvania and add his energy, star power, and insights to the Annual Dinner program,” said PA Chamber President & CEO Luke Bernstein. “Bret’s journey from small-town Pennsylvania to international success is a powerful example of how talent, hard work, and perseverance can open doors to opportunity. Together with an evening headlined by fellow Pennsylvania native Kevin Hart, we’ll celebrate the Commonwealth that has helped shape countless success stories.”

“I cannot be more honored and excited to be part of this incredible event, featuring the one and only Kevin Hart, along with Luke Bernstein and so many incredible people!” Michaels said. “Not only is Kevin one of the most talented people in entertainment, but also a great human being. I’m excited to answer questions about health, happiness, and the pursuit of the 5 P’s of Pennsylvania: purpose, passion, people, projects, and production. And, as always, health is wealth!”

The event will begin with a fireside chat featuring Kevin Hart. Following dinner, Michaels will take the stage for a Q&A covering a range of topics, including growing up in Pennsylvania, family and friends, music, branding, creative entrepreneurship, sports, overcoming adversity with an unbroken spirit, and a principle that has become increasingly important throughout his life: health is wealth.

Born in western Pennsylvania and raised in Mechanicsburg, Michaels has maintained strong roots in the Keystone State, having recently played Hershey Stadium and the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. Michaels is a lifelong Type 1 diabetic who was diagnosed at age six and the son of a veteran. Throughout his career, he has been a passionate advocate for veterans and diabetes awareness, supporting numerous charitable initiatives dedicated to both causes.
