Jon Bon Jovi
Musician, Actor, Sports Owner

Monday, July 25, 10:30am - 11:15am

Musician, singer, songwriter and actor, JON BON JOVI is most famous as the voice for the band BON JOVI. Since the group’s formation in the early 1980’s, Bon Jovi have sold more than 100 million records worldwide and more than 32 million fans in 47 countries have seen them in concert. Bon Jovi will release a new album this fall with a world tour to follow.

In addition to his status as a musician, Jon has built an impressive resume for his acting career appearing in a dozen motion pictures (including "Moonlight and Valentino" and "U-571") and appearing on television, including a recurring role on “Ally McBeal."

In 2003, Jon Bon Jovi introduced the Arena Football League (AFL) to the city of Philadelphia. Jon’s goal was to introduce a new type of sports owner. The Philadelphia Soul’s mission to help the community is a cornerstone of the team’s identity. Before the team had played their first ever game in their 2004 inaugural season, the Soul had given more than $200,000 to local causes. Over the course of the first and second seasons, team members, dancers and Jon himself made numerous public appearances and visits as representatives of the Soul in the community, donated a $70,000 playground to a local children’s home, brought thousands of local children to witness the football team practice and play and the total of monies donated to Philadelphia charities has reached half a million dollars.
