Gavin Rosssdale Walks With Sally

Last night in the South Bay Area of Los Angeles, Gavin Rossdale illustrated his philanthropic duties by performing for a non-profit organization called Walk With Sally. Walk With Sally is an organization that provides healing and comfort to children dealing with the emotional experience of living with or losing a parent to cancer. Founder Nick Arquette lost his mother to breast cancer when he was a young teen. Nick wanted to create a group that provides an emotionally safe environment for children to share their difficult experience with someone who has suffered the same or has been in their own shoes.

Nick's organization has been able to raise money through this one night affair dubbed White Light White Night. For Rossdale, he lent his artistic chops to help raise money for the benefit. Guest who donated or purchased special tickets also were treated to a meet and greet with Gavin which they took photos with him and spoke to Gavin briefly.

Rossdale, was able to get the crowd going as he opened his act with Chemicals Between Us. However, it was a bit hard to enjoy as his mic's volume seemed to be pushed lower than the band's instrument. The great music made up for it. Check out this clip of Chemicals Between Us.
