What

Seven-time Grammy Award-winning trio Lady Antebellum will headline The Concert for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital on Thursday, September 20, at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.  The American country-pop music group, boasting a double platinum debut album and triple platinum second album, is composed of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood.  Acclaimed Emmy award-winning comedian Dana Carvey will open the show, which is presented by the Salesforce.com Foundation.

Why

Funds raised through ticket sales will go toward building a new home for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, one of the nation’s best children’s medical facilities.  Located at UCSF’s Mission Bay campus near downtown San Francisco, the new UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital at Mission Bay will be part of a 289-bed integrated hospital complex for children, women and cancer patients.  Upon opening on February 1, 2015, the 183-bed children’s hospital will set a new world-class standard for patient- and family-centered health care, safety, sustainability and translational medicine.  For more information, please visit:  http://missionbayhospitals.ucsf.edu/our-facilities/childrens-hospital.
