Hand in Hand will host a benefit telethon on Sept. 12 organized by Bun B and longtime Justin Bieber manager Scooter Braun. Per CNN, it will air live on networks including ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and HBO.
Dozens of stars, including Beyoncé, Drake, Tom Hanks, Hilary Duff, Jimmy Fallon, Gwen Stefani, and Sofia Vergara, are slated to make appearances during the telethon.
