Hagar, a former resident of Fontana for twenty years, is giving back to his community and the burn center where a close family friend died due to severe burn injuries several years back. Hagar is partnering with the ARMC Foundation to raise funds for the Inland Counties Regional Burn Center.

Proceeds from the sale of special charity tickets for Hagar's concert on June 3, 2006 at the County of San Bernardino's Hyundai Pavilion will benefit the Burn Center. Proceeds will assist the Burn Center in its efforts to fund a local burn camp for children who are recovering from the traumatic effects of burn injuries, and to purchase special medical equipment necessary to treat burn injuries. Burn Center charity concert tickets for Glen Helen's Hyundai Pavilion can be purchased online at www.sbcounty.gov or www.kcalfm.com for $65 and $55 for orchestra and loge seats, respectively.
