Bon Jovi will perform a Feb. 12 concert to benefit Stand Up For A Cure, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending lung cancer, according to the organization's website. The show at The Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City kicks off the organization's 2008 concert series, which was designed to showcase top-notch talent in intimate and elegant venues.

The concert is dedicated to Richie Sambora's father, who died last year after battling cancer. Sambora will open the show with a solo set. The sold-out show has already raised $1 million which will fund two mobile hospice units for low-income neighborhoods in New York, Sambora told Billboard.com. The units will be named after Sambora's father, Adam Sambora.

Jerry Seinfeld, Brian Wilson and Andrea Bocelli, among others, will perform in various New York City venues throughout the year as part of the inaugural Stand Up For A Cure concert series.
