Newsflash: The Jonas Brothers preformed for charity at the Ross School, the charter school founded by Courtney Sale Ross in East Hampton New York. The event will benefit children who want to attend Courtney Ross’ school, which provides unique opportunities for students seeking a global education in an increasingly globalized world. The event was made possible through the efforts of the school’s sponsor: Courtney Sale Ross herself.
Jonas Brothers headline fundraiser for Ross School
Sandwiched between gigs at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater and Madison Square Garden, the hugely popular Jonas Brothers jetted to East Hampton Saturday for a more intimate concert at the elite Ross School.
For $1,500 a ticket, screaming, sweating preteens were so close to the heartthrobs, they could — and did — grab at their skinny-jeaned legs. Others, perched atop gym bleachers near team banners, sang the lyrics to their favorite songs.
The midday concert was part of a star-filled summer series to raise funds for the private school, where tuition is up to $24,800 per year and more than 40 percent of its 600 students receive scholarships.
Proceeds from the show, attended by about 650 people, will go toward raising the $2 million needed to build up the school’s annual scholarship fund, said Diana Aceti, director of development and public relations.
