TUCSON, AZ - An all-star benefit concert featuring Jackson Browne, Alice Cooper, David Crosby and Graham Nash is planned for Thursday evening in Tucson.
Jackson Browne's web site says the concert is intended to honor those who lost their lives or were injured physically and emotionally on Jan.8 while raising funds for a community foundation to promote civility, respect and understanding.
Organizers say the fund will also work to increase awareness of mental health symptoms, prevention and treatment services.
The concert kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday at Tucson Convention Center.
