A Noble Cause!
by goodtobehome on 11/9/13The Theater at Madison Square Garden - New YorkThe annual Bob Woodruff Stand Up for Heroes benefit made its first appearance at the Theatre at MSG. Having attended the benefit a few times prior....this was the 7th Year....the annual benefit to raise funds on behalf of wounded hero vets...never fails to bring smiles...laughs...and yes....tears.... for the difference that the monies raised has made in some of the families lives....which are memorialized in taped testimonials shown on the video screens as well as an appearance from a wounded vet hero husband and his wife who have benefited from the Woodruff charities work and funding. Where else on the same bill can you see comedy from John Stewart, Bill Cosby, Jim Gaffigan and Jerry Seinfeld....and get incredible music from Roger Waters and a backing band of 20 or so wounded hero vets....and Bruce Springsteen as a closing act..... Well the Woodruff Foundation pulls it off....year after year. Bravo to the Foundation....and bravo to all those who work so hard.....bravo to those who come out and support this wonderful charity...and bravo to our Servicemen and women that have given and served so that we can be can be safe and maintain our freedom! I look forward to seeing next years slate of performers.....and the venue of choice! As an aside....it was wonderful seeing the new entrance at Chase Plaza at Madison Square Garden......another bravo!
