    Bronx school fundraiser canceled for JLo concert


    By Joe Torres
    Tuesday, June 03, 2014
    BRONX, N.Y. --
    A Bronx school fund-raiser was canceled because a Jennifer Lopez concert was scheduled for the same night in the same area.

    Having the two events the same night means too much traffic.

    Students who were supposed to perform at the gala and have been rehearsing for months are disappointed.

    "We were saying like, really? Really? J-Lo? Really? Last-minute notice? Really?," said Kendel Braboy, a student.

    When pop star Jennifer Lopez scheduled her Orchard Beach concert for Wednesday night, it effectively canceled the annual spring gala benefiting the Bronx Charter School for Better Learning. The annual fund-raiser, which has generated about $75,000 for the free after-school program in the past, was supposed to be held at nearby golf courses on the same night as the concert.

    A spokesperson for the concert said she had no comment at this time.

    "Like, now she wants to pop up, like, no offense, but like, the other, like, last three years, she's been, like, nowhere," said Obinna Ohiekwe, a fifth-grader.

    Shubert Jacobs, the school principal, said that the limited access to the area is a major problem.

    "Orchard Beach, it's one-way in, one-way out," he said. "Already there was talk of residents, how will they even get to their homes? Those were the things that caused us to make the decision because we are thinking of safety."

    The principal acknowledges other programs may be cut if the expected money doesn't come through somehow.

    Fifth-grader Elijah Richards spent countless hours committing a Nelson Mandela speech to memory for the gala.

    "It wasn't really fair for us to put a lot of work into this and then it's just canceled all of a sudden," said Richards.
    Dahling, in the last three years you were 8. :ROFL:

                Gee, it sucks that there aren't 6 other days this week or 29 other days this month for the school gala to be rescheduled. Are these people serious? %)

                SMDH at the NY media and people reaching so hard to try to turn this into something negative.

                        This! I mean , it's a school gala, it's nothing. We're talking about a JLo concert, did they want JLo not to do a concert because of some silly students? Come on!

                                Crews Prep for Free Bronx JLo Concert as Residents Brace for Traffic Headache

                                Wednesday, Jun 4, 2014 | Updated 2:21 PM EDT



                                Building crews and security guards are ramping up their preparations for Jennifer Lopez's free concert in her native Bronx Wednesday night as residents brace for the traffic headache they anticipate will be created when Jenny comes back to the block.

                                Chopper 4 hovered over the scene as crews met on the stage ahead of the 8 p.m. concert at Orchard Beach in Pelham Bay Park. About 25,000 people are expected to attend and celebrate the star's return home. But in neighboring City Island, some are concerned that the extra traffic will jam up City Island Road, the only way onto the island.

                                “The congestion is bad enough as is right now,” said one City Island resident. “Imagine with J. Lo there. It’s not fair.”

                                The NYPD, however, says that only one lane of traffic on City Island Road will be used for concertgoers. Fans will also be able to get to the venue on another road.

                                More than 100 officers will also be out at ticket checkpoints.

                                Concertgoers were able to request free tickets to the concert online beforehand, but all the tickets have been claimed.

                                The event, sponsored by State Farm, celebrates the power of good neighbors and is Lopez's first concert in the borough, according to a press release.

                                              Jennifer Lopez Performs Free Concert in the Bronx Tonight

                                              Jennifer Lopez is performing in her first ever concert in the Bronx tonight.

                                              The superstar, who launched a health campaign at the Montefiore Medical Center Sunday, will perform a free concert for about 25-thousand people.

                                              It's being held at Orchard Beach in Pelham Bay Park at 8:30 p.m.

                                              Pre-show entertainment will start at 5:30 p.m. featuring local artists, street performers, food vendors, face-painting, and games.

                                              Some area residents had expressed concerns about extra traffic and litter.

                                              Local officials say they will be working to ease those concerns.

                                              How cool!

                                              Is J-Ho going to perform?
