Salesforce.org Presents Spectacular Concert to Support Kids’ Healthcare at
Cow “Cloud” Palace during Dreamfest on Wednesday, October 5, 2016

WHAT: U2 will take the stage at the Cow “Cloud” Palace in Daly City on Wednesday, October 5, 2016. The band will perform at The Concert for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, a benefit concert held in conjunction with Dreamfest presented by Salesforce.org during Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce, which brings together thought leaders, industry pioneers, and numerous companies and industries for four high-energy days of innovation, empowerment, giving back and fun. Internationally renowned artists will.i.am and MC Hammer will host a star-studded after party on location immediately following the concert.

WHO: Salesforce.org continues its honored tradition of corporate philanthropy at Dreamforce with The Concert for UCSF Benioff’s Children’s Hospitals’ proceeds supporting the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals.

Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. formed U2 in 1976 while at school together in Dublin. Acknowledged as one of the most innovative and best live acts in the world, U2 have released 13 studio albums with record sales in excess of 157 million. The Irish band has won numerous awards including 22 Grammys (more than any other band), two Golden Globes for Best Original Song, two Oscar nominations and the Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award.

Last year saw U2 make yet another groundbreaking return to the stage – the sold out, critically acclaimed iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour was seen by over 1.2 million fans across Europe and North America.

7:00 p.m. - Cocktail reception
8:15 p.m. - Concert – U2 to perform outside at the Cow "Cloud" Palace

WHY: Proceeds from sponsorships and ticket sales will go toward UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals. The passion and ingenuity found there–and the special sense of urgency that comes from caring for children - has created an extraordinary legacy of striving for breakthroughs. From founding the world’s first fetal surgery program to bringing about North America's first cure of alpha thalassemia major and from establishing one of the world’s first neonatal intensive care units to addressing the social determinants of health - the forces of innovation and compassion course though our hospitals in countless ways. All of these milestones, and the breakthroughs yet to come, are the culmination of a simple, shared passion: helping every child have the chance to star in whatever their story will be. When there isn’t a treatment for a childhood illness, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals takes the lead in finding one, making it a leader across a wide range of specialties and the top hospital for pediatric cancer care in Northern California. For more than a century, this leadership has continuously redefined what is possible in pediatric health care. For patients’ loved ones, this approach and these accomplishments make UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals a beacon of hope - a place where countless families have learned that if it can be done, it can be done here.
