Bruce Springsteen and Long Island Cares Team Up
To Fight Hunger
 Update,
April 24:
After a frenzied morning of
up-to-the-deadline bidding by two ardent Bruce Springsteen
fans, Mr. Springsteen agreed to add a second four-pack of
VIP concert tickets with a personal Meet & Greet so both
fans could be winners! Congratulations and thanks are in
order to our friends from Livingston, New Jersey and Northport, New York who each generously
bid $20,000 for the Ticket Package to the May 4th
concert at the Nassau Coliseum. The package also includes
dinner and round-trip limousine transportation. To top
it all off, Mr. Springsteen will be matching both winning
bids in a personal donation to Long Island Cares! Our
heartfelt thanks to our winners and of course Bruce
Springsteen for making such a tremendous difference in our
fight against hunger!
Hear Bruce speak
for Long Island Cares!
