Rod Stewart brought his catalog of rock classics to a private benefit in Southampton, New York, on July 29, helping raise $1.7 million for TeachRock. The organization, founded by Stevie Van Zandt, provides free music-based educational materials to teachers and students.
Event organizers said more than 200 guests attended the evening, held at the home of philanthropists Bob and Lauren Day Roberts. Stewart performed a full concert featuring songs including Have I Told You Lately, Forever Young and The First Cut Is the Deepest.
Van Zandt later joined Stewart onstage for Stay With Me and We’re Having a Party. The event also included a live auction offering private dinners with Stewart, Van Zandt and other entertainment figures.
