'The Boss' rocks out for Boston College financial aid

Legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen P'12 returned to his old stomping grounds in Asbury Park, New Jersey, on Saturday, November 16 for a two-hour benefit concert at the Stone Pony to raise funds for need-based financial aid at Boston College. The event will provide scholarships for nearly 100 BC students this year.

"Patti and Bruce Springsteen are great friends of Boston College and have been committed to helping us provide scholarships to deserving undergrads since they joined the parent community," said Senior Vice President for Advancement Jim Husson. "All of us at BC are deeply grateful to the Springsteens for their generosity and friendship."
