Über die Bob Woodruff Foundation:
The vision of the Bob Woodruff Foundation is to provide resources and support to injured service members, veterans and their families — building a movement to empower communities nationwide to take action to successfully reintegrate our nation’s injured heroes—especially those who have sustained the Hidden Injuries of War—back into their communities so they may thrive physically, psychologically, socially and economically.
Our Mission is Threefold:
We invest in national and community-based programs that connect our troops to the help they need — from individual needs like job training, career placement, counseling, physical accommodations, to larger social issues like substance abuse and homelessness.
We educate the public about the needs of service members returning from war…and our nation’s greater need to ensure our heroes and families receive the support necessary to have successful futures.
We collaborate with key federal, state, and local experts to identify and solve issues related to the successful return of service members from combat to civilian life
Together with our partners and supporters in communities across the country, we are healing the physical and hidden wounds of war.
Bruce Springsteen spielte gestern auf der „Stand Up for Heroes“ Benefizgala im New Yorker “Beacon Theatre” drei Songs. Begleitet von der Max Weinberg Big Band und Roy Bittan performte er vor ausverkauftem Haus „Open All Night“ und „Kitty’s Back“. Als Zugabe gab der „Boss“ mit Ehefrau Patti Scialfa „If I Should Fall Behind“ zum Besten.
Im Anschluss wurde Bruce Springsteens Gitarre für 140.000 versteigert.
Die Einnahmen werden der “Bob Woodruff Foundation” gestiftet. Die gemeinnützige Organisation unterstützt Menschen, die in Kriegen verletzt wurden.

Bruce Springsteen Personal Guitar: $140,000 at Live Auction
But mostly Bruce rocked the Beacon Theater last night, with the Max Weinberg Big Band behind him. They did three songs — “Open All Night,” a duet with Mrs. S–Patti Scialfa, and a major, rocking, spectacular “Kitty’s Back” with something like eight horn players and just sheer wildness.
…
But nothing was wilder than Cristina Carlino, the woman who started Philosophy (soaps, fragrances) bidding a winning $140,000 for the guitar Springsteen used during the show. – Quelle
