NEW YORK, June 4 (UPI) -- Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and rocker Jon Bon Jovi have agreed to take part in a benefit for the 9/11 Living Memorial Project, organizers said.

Clinton is to give the keynote address, while Bon Jovi is to perform at Monday's Voices of September 11th Always Remember Benefit at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in New York.

Hundreds of 9/11 survivors, relatives of victims and corporate sponsors are expected to attend the event, which includes a cocktail reception, as well as a silent auction featuring a guitar autographed by Jon Bon Jovi.

The program will also include remarks by Mary and Frank Fetchet from the Voices of September 11th group and Alice Greenwald from the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

The 9/11 Living Memorial Project is a permanent digital archive intended to preserve for future generations the lives lost and stories related to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
