A stellar lineup of entertainment figures will take the stage for the 20th anniversary of Stand Up for Heroes, an annual benefit concert held in New York City. The event, scheduled for November 9 at Lincoln Center as part of the New York Comedy Festival, will feature performances from Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart and Hasan Minhaj, along with additional acts including comedian Josh Johnson and musical performances from the Resilient and Alex Warren.
The variety show serves as a major fundraising vehicle for the Bob Woodruff Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting veterans, military families and caregivers. Since the event’s inception in 2007, the foundation has accumulated $117 million through Stand Up for Heroes and related efforts. The concert brings together performers and military service members on stage to honor those who have made significant sacrifices.
Bob Woodruff, an ABC News correspondent and co-founder of the foundation bearing his name, emphasized the event’s enduring impact over two decades. He noted that what began as a one-time concert has evolved into a cherished annual tradition that celebrates military service while raising critical funds for ongoing support programs. Tickets for the November 9 performance are currently available for purchase.
