Philip Morris International, which moved its headquarters from Manhattan to Stamford in 2022, is sponsoring a charity concert that will feature Haitian rapper, singer and record producer Wyclef Jean.

The concert, set for Aug. 8 as part of Stamford’s Alive At Five summer concert series, will benefit Bridgeport-based nonprofit Career Resources Inc., a workforce development service.

Wyclef, a three-time Grammy Award winner, formed the hip-hop group Fugees with frontwoman Lauryn Hill and Pras in 1990. He is a long-time collaborator of PMI.

PMI will make a donation directly to Career Resources, and is also covering the artist fees for Wyclef’s performance.

A text-to-donate campaign during the concert will allow audience members to donate to the organization as well.

PMI recently made a $5 million commitment over five years to the Women’s Business Development Council, which helps women pursue entrepreneurship.
