Heart of Camden Event with Jon Bon Jovi

Congrats to Helene Pierson and Heart of Camden on last night's incredible event honoring Jon Bon Jovi for his incredible generosity in our city of Camden. HOC built our theatre but before and after that incredible feat has rebuilt over 150 homes in our neighborhood from boarded up shells to beautiful homes filled with families. Jon was so humble and gracious in his speech and in his speaking with so many of the well heeled crowd who raided over $300,000 for HOC. There is an old adage "the bigger they are...the nicer they are". Jon Bon Jovi blows that out of the water. He is an incredible, giving person who uses his incredible talent and celebrity to help so many who so desperately need it. It was an honor to attend and represent SCTC and I did get teary eyed when, during a special Bon Jovi video of "Who says you can't go home?"scenes of Camden being rebuilt were shown with our theatre opening at the end. I'm still emotional over it. What a night..what a memory...what angels of healing Bon Jovi and HOC are. Heal Camden!
