The NAB Education Foundation has named the musician Jon Bon Jovi recipient of its 2017 Service to America Leadership Award for his efforts combatting poverty and homelessness.

Bon Jovi, who will be formally honored June 20 in Washington, chairs the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, whose mission is to foster positive change for those in need “one soul at a time.”
