During the show, fans were treated to sneak peeks of On The Line, plus a space flute verson of Lewis' 2014 single "Just One Of The Guys," performed by King Tuff. If a fan decided to donate, they were permitted to call in with questions for Lewis.
"Thank you SO much jennydianelewis and friends for including us as part of your album launch. And thank you for all who donated." The Downtown Women's Center tweeted. "All these proceeds go towards women finding saftey [sic], housing, and pathways to personal stability! "
