“52 FEST: An Eric LeGrand Benefit” will support paralyzed Rutgers football star Eric LeGrand (who had a huge breakthrough in his recovery recently). The benefit will be held at the Alvin P. Williams Memorial Park in Sewaren, NJ (Woodbridge Township) on Saturday, July 23, 2011 from 1:00PM to 8:00PM. Donations will be directly routed to the McCormac Community Charity Fund. Proceeds from the event will go toward renovations to Eric’s residence and requisite daily living expenses. More details after the jump.

The festival will be hosted by WRXP 101.9’s Mark Farrell and will feature a blend of local and national talent including Funkmaster Flex, Vinnie Caruana (The Movie Life/I Am the Avalanche), Socratic, Chocolate Bread, Matt Koziol, B.Funk, Asbury Fever, Runaway MC, Headbanger, and SevenStone.
