Huntington, NY - April 29, 2014 - On October 13, 2013, Billy Joel took to the stage of the Paramount in Huntington for his first Long Island Concert in more than eleven years to perform a special concert to benefit Long Island Cares, Inc. - The Harry Chapin Food Bank. The concert sold out in less than fifteen minutes and marked the beginning of a new Billy Joel limited tour, and the new Billy Joel franchise monthly concert at Madison Square Garden.
Following the concert at the Paramount, Billy Joel signed 21 commemorative posters that were custom-framed and sold for $500 each to further benefit the work of Long Island Cares, Inc. However, we have a limited number of unsigned posters available that make the perfect gift for Billy Joel fans. And although the posters are unsigned, they are quite beautiful when custom framed and ready to hang on any wall in your home or office. The posters are being provided for a $35.00 donation or a donation of $115.00 if you want the poster framed. To reserve a poster please email Tina Giardino at tgiardino@licares.org.
There are only 30 limited unsigned posters which are available on a first come - first served basis. Once these posters are gone they will not be reprinted. If you're a fan of Billy Joel, a supporter of Long Island Cares, Inc. this is an opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind print from an event that was "One Night to Remember."
