In 2007, the cost of two seats to see Phil Collins and a re-united Genesis warble Mama was around $400, while two of the best seats for Jay-Z's current 28-date Live Nation tour with Mary J.

PBHA also organized an HIV/AIDS assistance trip to New York, restoration trips to Alabama and Mississippi, a health clinic trip to New Orleans, and a civil rights tour in Mississippi.
