Bruce Springsteen Jokes About G-Spots (for a Good Cause) at 2026 Stand Up for Heroes Benefit: 5 Best Moments
The fundraiser for veterans and their families also featured Alex Warren, Jon Stewart and more.
On the 20th anniversary of the Stand Up for Heroes benefit, Bruce Springsteen joined forces with the Bob Woodruff Foundation and the New York Comedy Festival to raise money and laughs for United States veterans. The annual event took place at the prestigious Lincoln Center in New York City, featuring performances from Springsteen, Alex Warren, Jon Stewart, Josh Johnson, and Hasan Minhaj.
The event's musical headliner, a TikToker-turned-singer behind the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit "Ordinary," led the band The Resilient, which primarily comprises wounded U.S. combat veterans.
Springsteen, a regular attendee of the event since its inception in 2007, not only performed but also shared some humorous and insightful comments that left the audience in stitches. By the night's end, the foundations founders announced that they had raised an impressive $5.9 million through donations alone. This figure was later doubled when Craig Newmark, a renowned supporter and sponsor of the event, pledged an additional $28 million to the cause, bringing his lifetime contributions to a staggering $100 million.
While the event was exclusively for the honored guests, with a strict no-cameras policy, media outlet Billboard managed to capture some of the best moments from the night. Those unable to attend can now enjoy these highlights, celebrating the real-life heroes who benefit from this annual event.
