Backyard Concert 2025 – Legendary Rockers and Celebrities Show Up for the Cause
Rock and roll superstars The Who, the Doobie Brothers, Def Leppard, Peter Frampton, John Fogerty, Eddie Vedder, and Cheap Trick performed at the 2025 Backyard Concert to raise funds for Teen Cancer America and our hospital partner, UCLA Health. Judd Apatow emceed while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Sugar Ray Leonard shared auction items they donated on stage. Eddie Vedder, who met our Play It Back Artist, Letty, at a previous Backyard Concert, surprised Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend with a giant check for the charities. This event is led by TCA Board Members and supported by our Advisory Board, staff, and TCA/UCLA volunteers. Thank you to all who came out in support. Special thanks to Jordan Kaplan, Rebecca Rothstein, and Becky Mancuso-Winding. You have made a difference for the young people we serve.
