OZZY OSBOURNE To Donate Profits From Staples Center Show To Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program
October 22, 2007, 17 years ago
OZZY OSBOURNE has announced that he will donate all of his net profits - inclusive of ticket sales and merchandise - from his headlining show Friday, November 30th at Staples Center in Los Angeles to The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program.
In addition, 50 cents from every ticket sold will go to the cause, which is very close to the Osbournes. The program was founded by Sharon Osbourne - his wife and manager - after her own public battle with colon cancer, and works to improve the lives of patients and their loved ones by providing at-home help, childcare, transportation, access to support groups and patient care services offered within Cedars-Sinai Medical Center - the hospital where she was treated.
Colon cancer affects both men and women and is the third most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world. Information tables will be set up at the Staples Center show for concertgoers who want to learn more about colon cancer and the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program.
Promoted by AEG Live, the date marks Ozzy's first headlining arena show in Los Angeles in almost six years. It is part of his massive 40-show North American fall tour in support of Black Rain, his first album of new studio material in six years.
Tickets for this performance are currently on sale.
