Jon Bon Jovi on constructing a playground at the Northern Home for Children
A Place to Be a Kid

With the help of the football team Jon co-owns, Philadelphia Soul, and MTV's Real World, Jon builds these kids a playground.

"You go to an institution that's been there for 150 years and they didn't have a playground like this for the kids to be kids. … Could you imagine—when you're only 3'6" and looking up at this huge building and being taken away from your family, you need a place to be a kid. It might help you open up."
