WOODBRIDGE, N.J. — Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora is coming back home Tuesday.

Woodbridge plans to name a street in his honor because of his philanthropy.

The 50-year-old has launched a fundraising effort called, “You Can Go Home,” to give back to the community. The program benefits Woodbridge teen Kelly Mahon, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor two years ago.

Sambora also financed the new weight room at his alma mater, Woodbridge High School. It will be named after Sambora’s father, who died of cancer this year.

The street leading to the school will be named Richie Sambora Way.

Sambora says he’s never taken his success for granted.
