I know they will create a night of incredible music and comedy in a true testament to the power of unity to make a difference in kids' lives. I'm also excited to see familiar faces and new supporters alike, joining hands in the spirit of compassion to give back to the community. Let's make this another night to remember!"
The event is scheduled for Oct. 7. Tickets are on sale now and start at $50.
Proceeds will benefit the foundation, which services children in Las Vegas and Atlanta.

This year's proceeds will also support the construction of a new joint facility, which will house a Boys & Girls Club and a Communities In Schools Alumni Center in Las Vegas.
