Woodbridge Township to Host 52Fest: An Eric LeGrand Benefit

June 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Woodbridge Township (Woodbridge, NJ)- In conjunction with Elliot Solop, Marisa Mendez, and Joe Geis, proudly present a charity festival titled “52 FEST: An Eric LeGrand Benefit” to support paralyzed Rutgers football star and Woodbridge Township resident Eric LeGrand. The benefit will be held at the Alvin P. Williams Memorial Park in Sewaren, NJ (Woodbridge Township) on Saturday, July 23, 2011 from 1:00PM to 8:00PM. Donations will be directly routed to the McCormac Community Charity Fund (501(c)(3)). Proceeds from the event will go toward renovations to Eric’s residence and requisite daily living expenses.

Eric LeGrand, Rutgers University’s Defensive Tackle, # 52, had suffered a spinal cord injury in a televised game against Army, at the Meadowlands Stadium, on October 16, 2010. The injury has left him paralyzed from the neck down and has served as a call to action for support from Rutgers University, Woodbridge Township, and communities nationwide.

52 FEST is about progress, hope, growth, positivity, selflessness, love, and the ability to envision a brighter future. Through Eric’s journey of perseverance, he has influenced the hearts, minds, and souls of many. We hope that 52 FEST can impact Eric’s life the same way he has ours.

The festival is expected to feature 20 to 30 artists, with a blend of local and national talent on the event’s bill. The current band roster can be seen at http://www.52fest.com. Headliners are expected to be announced later this month.

Tickets are now on sale at the official website (http://www.52fest.com) and through TicketLeap (http://52fest.ticketleap.com/). Tickets will also be available at Woodbridge Town Hall’s box office and sponsoring venues in the days to come. Many sponsors are donating resources, time and products to help make 52 FEST an event to remember, and ultimately, an event that will help Eric during his road to recovery.
