"I don't think there's ever been a night where $10 million has been raised for a children's hospital ever before," says Marc Benioff, for whom the hospital is named.

In its five-year history, the Dreamforce conference has raised $36 million.

Foo Fighters will continue their tour in support of their latest album, Sonic Highways, on Saturday, September 19, in Anaheim, California.  The North American leg of the tour will conclude October 18 in Castaic, California, and will be followed by a trip to Europe.
