In addition to Open Door, David supports a variety of local organizations including the Ossining Children's Center, Jacob Burns Film Center and Westchester Community College," said Lindsay Farrell, President & CEO of Open Door.

About David Crosby and Graham Nash

As a duo, longtime creative partners David Crosby and Graham Nash bring out the best in each other, their distinct yet complementary styles balancing an equation that delivers a seamless and inspiring musical whole. These Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are legendary for their airtight and crystal-clear vocal harmonies. It is a sound that's one of the true touchstones of the rock ‘n' roll era. The event is anticipated to sell out to benefit the not-for-profit community health center.

Co-chairs for the Benefit Concert are Marlene Canapi of Chappaqua, NY and Michael Baker of Kent, NY. "This event, which started in 2004, has become one of the most widely anticipated benefits in Westchester. Two years ago Elvis Costello sold out the Performing Arts Center with a solo acoustic performance that people are still talking about. We didn't know if we could match that night but there isn't any question that David Crosby and Graham Nash will create yet another extraordinary night to support and raise awareness for Open Door," said Mr. Baker
