Hurricane Harvey has devastated the lives of thousands of individuals.

Hollywood’s brightest stars are set to come out and shine in a relief effort to raise funds for people affected by Hurricane Harvey.

George Clooney and Beyonce top the list of celebrities eager to help the cause. Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Harvey Relief is scheduled to air at 8 Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, September 12th.

The show will be comprised of live and taped segments shot in Universal Studios, the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Times Square in New York City, and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

The Telethon Will Sponsor a Multitude of Charities

Hurricane Harvey has devastated southeast Texas, leaving tens of thousands of people temporarily homeless after their houses were damaged or destroyed by rain, wind, and massive flooding. More than 60 people lost their lives in the storm and flood. Funds raised from Hurricane Harvey Relief will be dispersed to charities helping in the recovery effort including the United Way, the Mayor’s Relief Fund, Rebuild Texas, Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity, and Feeding Texas.

Some of the biggest names to appear on the benefit are George Clooney, Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, and Reese Witherspoon. George Strait, Miranda Lambert, Lyle Lovett, Chris Stapleton, and Robert Earl Keen will take the stage in San Antonio for the Hurricane Harvey Relief Telethon. Barbara Streisand, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts, Michael Strahan, Jamie Foxx, and Rob Lowe will be there. Ryan Seacrest, Dennis Quaid, Adam Sandler, and Blake Shelton are other stars eager to be on the show to help raise funds for Hurricane Harvey survivors.

Music manager and producer Scooter Braun developed the idea for “Hand in Hand” Hurricane Harvey Relief Telethon. He and Allison Kaye are as executive producers along with Jesse Ignjatovic, Evan Prager, and Bernard ‘Bun B’ Freeman.
