Brookville, NY / Commack, NY; October 10, 2019 – The Marty Lyons Foundation, headquartered in Commack, NY, will host a benefit concert featuring Billy Joel’s original band, “The Lords of 52nd Street.” Opening for the band will be Long Island’s own legendary comedian, Bob Nelson .

“This concert, which is the first of its kind for the Foundation, promises to be a fun-filled evening of musical entertainment and laughter. As all of us at the Foundation look forward to granting the wishes of as many children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses as possible in the months ahead; we thank our friends for supporting this event and our mission of over 37 years,” said Marty Lyons, Founder of the Marty Lyons Foundation.

Marty Lyons, founder of the Marty Lyons Foundation, is a former NFL star for the New York Jets and a member of the legendary New York Sack Exchange. Marty experienced three life-changing events that led him to establish the nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children suffering terminal or life-threatening illnesses, ages 3 to 17. It is unique among wish-granting organizations in that it provides a first wish and will consider a second wish for children who fall out of remission or are facing more battles with their illnesses. The Foundation has granted the special wishes of over 7,600 children since its inception in 1982.

Tickets to “The Lords of 52nd Street” concert are available through the Marty Lyons Foundation website: www.martylyonsfoundation.org and are $50, $75 and $150 for VIP, which includes a pre-show VIP cocktail hour and meet & greet.
