Richie Sambora Way


Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora is hugged by fans after Woodbridge residents and public officials gathered Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2009, in his hometown, Woodbridge, N.J., to name a street in his honor because of his philanthropy.

The 50-year-old Sambora has launched a fundraising effort called, "You Can Go Home," to give back to the community. The program benefits Woodbridge teen Kelly Mahon, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor two years ago.


Sambora also financed the new weight room at his alma mater, Woodbridge High School. It's being named in honor of Sambora's father, Adam, who died of cancer in 2007.

The street leading to the school is now Richie Sambora Way.

Hoping to get the inside scoop from a couple of the girls who were there today ... what a nice day for Richie AND the fans!

That's just awesome. I wonder how securely they've attached those signs and how long it'll take for someone to steal them.

For me, I'm impressed that they've finally given Richie some press about his philanthropy.

Thanks for posting Hath.
