(Harrisburg, PA) – Bruce Springsteen has offered the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank a fundraising opportunity with the donation of tickets, E-Street Lounge passes and a possible “meet & greet” to be auctioned for his Hersheypark Stadium concert on May 15.

For a winning bid of $10,000 or more, the winner and three friends will meet Bruce. Additionally, Bruce has agreed to match the winning bid with a personal donation to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank of up to $50,000. If the highest bid submitted is below $10,000, the winning bidder will receive the four premium tickets and four E Street Lounge passes, but will not have the opportunity to meet Bruce. Winning bid donations below $10,000 will also not be matched.
