Is your $15K budget just for the artist or does it cover the sound system that a top rate artist will require? I have experience with having big name performers give their time for a philanthropy, however, the sound system rental/installation costs thousands and thousands of dollars. (Eight years ago this was in the $3-5K range). We were able to get many things gifted for the event, but sound was not one.
Good luck to you in planning something that is this large scale. I would definitely get quotes for the type of sound system required before committing dollars to an artist so that you don't lose money on the endeavor.
