Sambora to perform national anthem at BC, takes part in charity auction
Brisnet
The Breeders' Cup announced Friday that legendary guitarist Richie Sambora will sing and perform the national anthem for the 2014 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Santa Anita Park on November 1.
Airing live on NBC Sports' telecast of the Breeders' Cup, Sambora's performance will include a special charity component this year for City of Hope, offering one lucky fan a race-day experience and signed guitar from the rocker icon and Hall of Fame songwriter.
Giving an edgy, Hollywood twist to the horseracing tradition of the pre-race national anthem performance, the rocker's much-anticipated return to the winner's circle and vocal debut at the Breeders' Cup follows his history-making performance of the "Call to the Post" anthem at last year's event.
To celebrate this year's 31st running of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, Sambora has designed a one-of-a-kind custom handmade Kantor Austrian crystal guitar, which he will use to perform the national anthem before donating it to the lucky CharityBuzz auction winner.
The winning bidder will also receive two VIP tickets to the World Championships for October 31-November 1 and do a meet and greet with Richie while personally joining him in the winner's circle for the special performance.
The CharityBuzz auction will officially launch on September 26 and end on October 14, with all proceeds from the auction being donated to City of Hope, the Breeders' Cup's primary non-profit beneficiary.

This Sambora-designed guitar will be auctioned off to help City of Hope (Breeders' Cup Ltd.)
