ASBURY PARK -- What started as a private party on the Jersey Shore has ballooned into one of rock musics most celebrated charity events and has raised more than $3 million for research on Parkinsons disease...
Bob Benjamin, a manager of rock bands and a longtime fixture on the Jersey Shore music scene, was diagnosed...(i)n 2000...(W)e threw together...a birthday party...to show...we were there for him, said concert promoter...Tony Pallagrosi. But Bob called me and said: You know that surprise party youre having for me? Theres a Parkinsons disease foundation in New York. Lets use the party to get them donations.
The rest is worthy of a lengthy chapter in New Jersey rock history... (More)
With nearly three dozen events scheduled through next Monday, there's still time to get tickets or donate online!
