Thanks for sharing that guys! So when people bought the Jerseys they didn't know the $ was going to charity?

The all request hour, the girl in the front row has just asked for Blood on Blood, ok, Merry Christmas young lady!" Amazing <3

I bought the one signed only by Jon. I was happy just to have it, but I'm even happier now that I know it was for charity

That's right. Nobody has any idea all the money was going to be donated. We thought it would line the bands pockets....

Yep, that just goes to show you, how we really don't know where the money that is made from merchandise, tours, etc. goes. This was a pleasant surprise.

Maybe a similar letter should be put on bonjovi.com as it would be mostly Bon Jovi fans that brought the shirts rather than Soul fans.

I knew that the money was going to be donated because at the show I went to in Minneapolis last November there was a sign hanging on the Jersey saying all proceeds would go to a Soul charity. Obviously these signs didn't make it to the merchandise booths of every show.

It makes sense that the signs would be posted as it would tend to drive more sales for those that are on the fence about buying one. I did not see the sign though in all the shows that I went to.

I didn't see a sign at any show I went to either but it is cool to know where the money went.
