Arrowhead Regional Medical Center Foundation and the former Fontana resident have teamed to raise money for the Inland Counties Regional Burn Center at the Colton hospital. Proceeds from select tickets for Hagar and the Wabos’ performance at Glen Helen Hyundai Pavilion on June 3 will benefit the burn center. "Those of us who are healthy should make commitments like these to help others who are less fortunate," Hagar said in a prepared statement. "I feel that this is the least I can do. It is an opportunity handed to me as a responsible, privileged person and this is the easy part of the job." The burn center provides care for both adults and children. The facility (the only one of its kind serving San Bernardino, Riverside, Inyo and Mono counties) plans to use the money to help fund a local burn camp for children recovering from injuries and to purchase medical equipment necessary for treatment. "We have fund-raisers throughout the year," said Jorge Valencia, director of business development and marketing for the medical center, "but this is the first time we’ve done something with a musician or artist. This is a unique and exciting opportunity" to raise money. In related news, Hagar will be presented with a proclamation from the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors declaring Tuesday as "Sammy Hagar Day." Orchestra and loge level seats for the Devore concert are $55-$65 and available through www.kcalfm.com or www.sbcounty.gov. Those who purchase the charity tickets are entered into a drawing to win a VIP pre-concert party. For more information, call (909) 793-2908. Hagar to aid burn unit Back in 1987, veteran rocker Sammy Hagar had a No. 1 hit on album rock radio with "Give to Live." Now the tune has added relevance.
