Self-reliance, optimism and community are key concepts that define Jon
Bon Jovi. The frontman for the GRAMMY® Award-winning band Bon Jovi
has not only written and performed countless rock anthems, he has
utilized his spotlight and raised millions of dollars to aid the
working poor, the homeless and the hungry. After selling more than 130
million albums and performing in over 50 countries for more than 40
million fans, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame in recognition of their longevity and impact on popular music for
the past three decades. Jon is also a member of the Songwriters Hall
of Fame.

In addition to an iconic music career, Jon has been widely
acknowledged and celebrated for his philanthropic work. Jon founded
the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated
to bringing about positive change and helping those in need “one
SOUL at a time.” The foundation has worked to address homelessness,
poverty, and food insecurity looking to make a positive impact at the
community level. Additionally, Jon and his wife, Dorothea, opened the
JBJ Soul Kitchen nonprofit community restaurant, now with 4 locations
in New Jersey, helping feed those in need.
