An array of superstars, including Beyoncé, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and Julia Roberts, are teaming up to put on a one-hour telethon to raise money for victims of Hurricane Harvey, which devastated the Texas coast and left more than 60 people dead.
The telethon, called Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Harvey Relief, will air live at 8 p.m. ET on Sept. 12 across ABC, CBS, CMT, Fox, and NBC, according to the show’s website. Proceeds from the event will go to charities that are supporting people whose lives have been left devastated by the hurricane, including Save the Children, Feeding Texas, and the United Way of Greater Houston.

The show will also feature appearances, performances and taped tributes from stars including Jamie Foxx, Karlie Kloss, Rob Lowe, Matthew McConaughey, and Barbra Streisand.
