"I'm so proud to announce our 11th year of Bro-Am -- it's shaping up to be the best yet," says Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman. "We are deeply moved to see our community come together to help create an event that supports these very incredible kids. It remains my favorite day of the year."
Since it began in 2005, Bro-Am has raised more than $1 million for San Diego children's charities. The 2015 event will benefit the newly founded Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation, which will be launching a new music education program for children and teens.
In addition to a concert by Switchfoot, the bands NEEDTOBREATHE, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors and Colony House will perform. Switchfoot will be on tour with NEEDTOBREATHE throughout the summer.
The 2015 Bro-Am will be held July 11 at the Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, California. If you can't make it out to the event, you can watch the live stream at Switchfoot.com/Bro-Am.
