Here Comes the Sun - Stadium Concert Event Benefiting Limbs for Life June 21

The Local AAF-Fort Worth will host a concert event benefiting the Limbs for Life Foundation. The Benefit is set to take place on Saturday, June 21, 2008 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at LaGrave Field in Fort Worth.

This year’s event will again feature Beatles cover band A Hard Night’s Day, and will attempt to relive the Fab Four's greatest hits in a live outdoor stadium show under the stars, reminiscent of their incredible 1965 Shea Stadium performance. A Hard Night's Day is one of the most popular and acclaimed Beatles tribute bands in the nation, with a live show that has to be seen and heard to be believed.

Dana Bowman will start the event with a parachute jump into the stadium. Bowman is a retired Sergeant First Class with the U.S. Army, where he was a Special Forces Soldier and a member of the U.S. Army’s elite parachute team, the Golden Knights. Bowman is a double amputee who lost his legs in an accident during annual Golden Knights training in Yuma, Arizona, in 1994.

Proceeds for the concert event will benefit the Limbs for Life Foundation, which is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to providing fully functional prosthetic care for individuals who cannot otherwise afford it and raising awareness of the challenges facing amputees.

Tickets for the event are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Kids 3 and under are free.
