Featuring Cyndi Lauper, Norah Jones, Lou Reed, Rosie O’Donnell, Carson Kressley, Amy lee, Chely Wright, Skylar Grey, Vanessa Carlton, Angelique Kidjo, Harvey Firestein, Deluka, Alan Cumming, Cassandra Wilson, Jon Secada and Clay Aiken. 100% of the net proceeds from “Home for the Holidays” will benefit the True Colors Fund so that Lauper and the organization can continue to further its mission to help homeless LGBT youth. “When I first learned that up to 40 percent of all homeless youth in this country identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender I was shocked and saddened,” remarked Lauper, co-founder of the True Colors Fund. “For far too long homeless youth have not received the attention, resources and funding necessary to bring an end to this epidemic. My hope is that through this inspiring evening of music and comedy we can raise awareness and much needed funds to help these young people.”
