The Goo Goo Dolls are set to headline the Children’s Diabetes Foundation’s 39th Annual Carousel Ball on October 11 at the Hyatt Regency Denver. Music legend Neil Diamond will also be honored with the Inspirational Lifetime Achievement Award during the event, with proceeds from the benefit going towards the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes in Colorado. “We’re excited to take the stage at The Carousel Ball and support an amazing cause,” Goo Goo Dolls’ John Rzeznik and Robby Takac said in a statement. “The progress the Children’s Diabetes Foundation has made in diabetes research and patient care has brought new hope to countless families and we’re honored to be a part of their special night.” Chairman Dana Davis added: “Goo Goo Dolls’ music has touched so many lives, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. We couldn’t think of a better collaborator to help us ring in nearly 50 years of impact.” (Variety)
