This Year’s Bridge School Benefit

Crédit:

On October 24 and 25, the 23rd annual Bridge School Benefit concert will be held.  The fundraising event comes to the aid of children with severe physical disabilities and speech problems.

This year’s headliners include Neil Young, No Doubt, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Fleet Foxes, Wolfmother, Sheryl Crow, Gavin Rossdale and Monsters of Folk.

Since 1988, the event has been taking place in Mountain View, California, although it originally began in 1986.  The benefit concert is the brainchild of Neil Young and his wife, Pegi.  Their two boys suffer from cerebral palsy, while their daughter suffers from epilepsy.

Artists are invited to perform songs with only acoustic instruments for the special show.  This year, comedian Adam Sandler will also entertain the crowd.
