    Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Eddie Vedder, Arcade Fire, Dave Matthews, Tony Bennett and Mumford & Sons, Beck, Diana Krall, Jenny Lewis and Los Invisibles, featuring Carlos Santana, will take part in this year's Bridge School Benefit. The annual concert, which has been taking place since 1986, donates its proceeds to Young's Bridge School, which helps children with severe physical impairments! What a terrific cause for rockers to come together for!

    Good news. Every artist will perform an acoustic set at the show, which will be held on Oct. 22 and 23 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, Calif. The Bridge School was founded by Neil Young and his wife Pegi in 1986 after failing to find an adequate school for their son Ben. We love when rockers spring to action like this.

    Will you attend the Bridge School Benefit? Do you work with or donate to any charities?
