A-List Celebs Line Up For Concert For Autism

What do Jerry Seinfeld, Bruce Springsteen and Donald Trump have in common? They, along with a bunch of other A-List celebrities are making appearances at the Autism Speaks Concert For Autism on November 17 at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

This year's star-studded event will feature comedian Jerry Seinfeld, with a special appearance by "The Boss", Bruce Springsteen. The evening will be hosted by NBC's Meet the Press moderator, David Gregory, on November 17, at world famous landmark Carnegie Hall. Your participation in this global cause will benefit the families and individuals who live with autism every day by supporting research, awareness and family services initiatives.

We love celebrities supporting a good cause and this one has no dearth of them: Jamie Foxx, Ellen DeGeneres, Tina Fey, Conan O'Brien, Seth Rogen, Martha Stewart, Katie Couric, Meredith Vieira, Glenn Close, Celine Dion, Will Ferrell, Edie Falco, Troy Aikman, and Harry Smith are a few of the many committee members supporting the event.

Larry King even twittered about the event earlier today.

My grandson has Autism and this i hope will bring in a record amount of money ... research is vital to the the community of people that have family members with Autism .
as it stands now insurance does not cover hardly any medical or psychiatric treatment for kids and adults with Autism.. if the family does not have a endless supply of money then the patient suffers without care that is needed for the kids to learn to develop to their fullest abilities.
my grandson would be a lot further along in learning the basic life skills to be able to do regular things that we take for granted ... like bathing ourselves, brushing our teeth, dressing ourselves and being able to do out side and play like other kids..

Maybe when the health care bill gets passed my grandson will be able to have the care that he needs and be able to have the therapy that will help teach him to learn life skills.. and to be able to communicate more with people ...

Thanks to all the people that give and participate in this much needed event to at least bring more awareness to the needs of these special people with Autism.
