  <title>Paul Newman Honored At Star-Studded Charity Event</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A group of entertainment&#8217;s finest turned out to a special evening to raise funds for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/189-paul-newman&quot;&gt;Paul Newman&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/230-hole-in-the-wall-camps&quot;&gt;Hole In The Wall Camps&lt;/a&gt; in New York on Monday, June 8.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/443-robert-redford&quot;&gt;Robert Redford&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/608-julia-roberts&quot;&gt;Julia Roberts&lt;/a&gt;, the event featured performances from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1312-james-taylor&quot;&gt;James Taylor&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/568-harry-connick-jr&quot;&gt;Harry Connick Jr.&lt;/a&gt;, Yo Yo Ma, Art Garfunkel and Joshua Bell. Attendees also included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/448-kristin-chenoweth&quot;&gt;Kristin Chenoweth&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve done a lot of these galas,&amp;#8221; said Julia Roberts. &amp;quot;And I&amp;#8217;ve never stood up without my buddy Paul Newman. It seems so much easier to sing and dance and make a fool of yourself when he&amp;#8217;s right next to you. He encourages fun, more than any person I&amp;#8217;ve ever met. &amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many of the stars present at the event talked about their memories of Newman, who passed away on September 26, 2008, from complications resulting from lung cancer. Clinton remembered meeting Newman when he was still a law student, and then visiting the first Hole in the Wall Camp in Connecticut when he became Govenor of Arkansas: &amp;#8220;I have watched [the camps] expand to Florida, Ireland &#8211; which really touched my heart &#8211; France, and soon the Middle East.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Newman&#8217;s Hole in the Wall Camps are the world&#8217;s largest family of camps for children with serious illnesses and life threatening conditions. More than 100,000 seriously ill children from 34 states and 31 countries have attended the Camps free of charge.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Join Jerry Seinfeld For A Night Of Charity Comedy</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Owen Hart Foundation&amp;#8217;s annual concert event will mark the tenth anniversary of the foundation and the work they do within the Calgary community. The organization is pleased to announce they will be presenting a very special and unforgettable evening with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This extraordinary evening full of fun and laughter will punctuate The Owen Hart Foundation&#8217;s 10 years of humanitarian service and commitment to helping those with limited resources, but with unlimited potential. Performances at 6:30pm and 9:30pm are scheduled at The Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on June 16, 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Over the years, The Owen Hart Foundation has unrelentingly endeavored to provide much needed funds for education and a variety of other invaluable social programs. With the ongoing support of so many wonderful Calgarians, The Owen Hart Foundation has proudly grown into a staple charity within the Calgary community and has also served as an incredible celebration of Owen Hart&#8217;s life. It has been this collective effort that has greatly contributed to the continued success of The Owen Hart Foundation,&#8221; stated Martha Hart, founder of the Owen Hart Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Owen Hart Foundation has presented legendary performers such as Bob Newhart, Neil Sedaka, Paul Anka, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1358-bill-cosby&quot;&gt;Bill Cosby&lt;/a&gt; and Howie Mandel. These events have helped The Owen Hart Foundation raise much needed funds and awareness so they can continue their work within the Calgary community. &#8220;Thank you Calgary for 10 years of unwavering support. I have wholly appreciated it to the highest degree, and look forward to seeing many of you on June 16th for The Owen Hart Foundation&amp;#8217;s special evening with Jerry Seinfeld,&#8221; stated Martha Hart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;It is a real honor to be in a position to produce Mr. Jerry Seinfeld on behalf of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CIBC&lt;/span&gt; and The Owen Hart Foundation. Mr. Seinfeld traditionally manages and directs his own events, but has graciously agreed to work with our team and The Owen Hart Foundation because of the courageous and unselfish work done by Martha Hart and The Owen Hart Foundation has done in Calgary and the world over the last ten years,&#8221; stated David Howard, President of The Event Group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tickets to CIBC&#8217;s presentation of An Evening with Jerry Seinfeld in support of The Owen Hart Foundation are available at Ticketmaster (403) 777-0000 or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/1100427A98079FF6?artistid=795942&amp;amp;majorcatid=10002&amp;amp;minorcatid=51&quot;&gt;online here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Paul Newman Honored With Nature Preserve</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The town of Westport, Connecticut, is to honor the late &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/189-paul-newman&quot;&gt;Paul Newman&lt;/a&gt; by creating a 37-acre nature reserve adjacent to his former home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new Newman/Poses Preserve will include walking paths, benches, and a ban on development and building. The idea came from Newman&#8217;s widow, Joanne Woodward, who wrote to the local council in January.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The Poses land is a truly beautiful piece of land that Paul, our children, and I have had the privilege of enjoying for many, many years,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Preserving the Poses property in its natural state is something I very much believe Paul would have loved to see happen. Paul always expressed regret that he was not able to accomplish this himself, so I think if there were to be anything at all done by the town to honor Paul&#8217;s memory this would be a very generous and appropriate tribute to him. He would, I believe, be particularly pleased that such a gesture would benefit all of Westport&#8217;s residents.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Westport is not the only group of people honoring the late actor. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/608-julia-roberts&quot;&gt;Julia Roberts&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/443-robert-redford&quot;&gt;Robert Redford&lt;/a&gt; will host a special evening to raise funds for Newman&#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/230-hole-in-the-wall-camps&quot;&gt;Hole In The Wall Camps&lt;/a&gt; in New York on June 8.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Entertainment will be provided by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1312-james-taylor&quot;&gt;James Taylor&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/568-harry-connick-jr&quot;&gt;Harry Connick Jr.&lt;/a&gt;, Yo Yo Ma, Art Garfunkel and Joshua Bell, and the event will feature a cocktail reception and after party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tickets range from $50 to $5,000. The event will take place at the Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center. More information can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holeinthewallcamps.org/documents/EventInfo4309.pdf&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Celebrity chef &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/542-rachael-ray&quot;&gt;Rachael Ray&lt;/a&gt; was one of the many guests to appear at the Food Network&#8217;s New York City Wine and Food Festival last weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The star joined &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1570-jessica-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jessica Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; wife of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; and founder of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1016-baby-buggy&quot;&gt;Baby Buggy&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; for one of the many events held over four days from October 9 to October 12 to benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/788-food-bank-for-new-york-city&quot;&gt;Food Bank For New York City&lt;/a&gt;. The pair talked about one of the biggest health challenges parents face today &amp;#8211; preparing healthful, convenient meals their children will actually eat. They shared practical advice for feeding kids and avoiding the common mistakes many parents make when facing down a picky eater.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The festival attracted a wide range of chefs and celebrities, including Rocco DiSpirito &#8211; recently voted off &lt;em&gt;Dancing With The Stars&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; as well as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/921-gordon-ramsay&quot;&gt;Gordon Ramsay&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/774-al-roker&quot;&gt;Al Roker&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1137-pat-neely&quot;&gt;Pat Neely&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1138-gina-neely&quot;&gt;Gina Neely&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1942-nigella-lawson&quot;&gt;Nigella Lawson&lt;/a&gt;, and Anthony Bourdain.&lt;/p&gt;

inspiration, empowerment and education of women, children, and families around the world and to encourage people around the world to make a difference in the lives of others&amp;#8221;. Coming in second was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1218-herb-alpert&quot;&gt;Herb Alpert&lt;/a&gt;, who donated a total of $13 million to the Herb Alpert Foundation, followed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/181-barbra-streisand&quot;&gt;Barbra Streisand&lt;/a&gt;, who gave over $11 million to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/219-streisand-foundation&quot;&gt;Streisand Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To compile the most accurate rankings, The Giving Back Fund culled media reports of charitable giving by sports and entertainment professionals;  reviewed PF-990 tax-forms; contacted more than 250 publicists, attorneys, agents, agencies, and managers for information about their clients;  sent inquiries to more than 150 charities known for their celebrity associations; and contacted the major sports leagues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Our hope is that celebrities will begin to become more comfortable sharing information about their charitable giving &lt;del&gt;-&lt;/del&gt; perhaps not disclosing everything they give, but sharing enough that they will serve as role-models to their peers and fans,&#8221; said Marc Pollick, President and Founder of The Giving Back Fund.  &#8220;We know that many celebrities re-direct income from sponsorship and merchandising deals to charity, or help to raise funds in other ways. We are researching reliable means to report this information in a separate list.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Giving Back Fund did not include grants made by foundations in the list so as to avoid counting the same funds twice &lt;del&gt;-&lt;/del&gt; once when the donor gave money to a foundation and again when the donor decided on a beneficiary for that money.  The Giving Back did not calculate giving as a percentage of the celebrities income because there is no consistent way to calculate income when taking into account income from sponsorship and merchandise sales.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Donations to private foundations are disclosed in public documents.  However, donations to public charities are not publicly disclosed and therefore may not be reported in the Giving Back 30.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rest of the list included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/189-paul-newman&quot;&gt;Paul Newman&lt;/a&gt;, who gave away over $10 million; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/193-mel-gibson&quot;&gt;Mel Gibson&lt;/a&gt;, who gave $9.9 million to the AP Reilly Foundation, the tax-exempt entity named for his late mother, which supports Holy Family Catholic Church in Malibu, California; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/2-angelina-jolie&quot;&gt;Angelina Jolie&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/27-brad-pitt&quot;&gt;Brad Pitt&lt;/a&gt;, who collectively donated over $8 million to good causes; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt;, who pledged $5 million to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. Other celebrities listed included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/527-michael-jordan&quot;&gt;Michael Jordan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/405-rosie-odonnell&quot;&gt;Rosie O&amp;#8217;Donnell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/710-hugh-hefner&quot;&gt;Hugh Hefner&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/529-tiger-woods&quot;&gt;Tiger Woods&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Waterston and Madigan Support National Parks</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1022-sam-waterston&quot;&gt;Sam Waterston&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1485-amy-madigan&quot;&gt;Amy Madigan&lt;/a&gt; and are the newest advocates for America&amp;#8217;s national parks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The actors generously donated their time and talent to record radio public service ads for the nonprofit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1168-national-parks-conservation-association&quot;&gt;National Parks Conservation Association&lt;/a&gt;. The ads, launched in late August, encourage the public to sign a petition to the next president and Congress, seeking their support for national parks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In previous years, celebrities &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/246-morgan-freeman&quot;&gt;Morgan Freeman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/377-julia-louis-dreyfus&quot;&gt;Julia Louis-Dreyfus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1488-richard-dreyfuss&quot;&gt;Richard Dreyfuss&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/395-walter-cronkite&quot;&gt;Walter Cronkite&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1489-cristina-saralegui&quot;&gt;Cristina Saralegui&lt;/a&gt; have recorded public service announcements for the organization&amp;#8217;s efforts to protect national parks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Founded in 1919, the nonpartisan National Parks Conservation Association (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npca.org&quot;&gt;www.npca.org&lt;/a&gt;) is the leading voice of the American people in protecting and enhancing our National Park System. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NPCA&lt;/span&gt;, its 340,000 members, and partners work together to protect the park system and preserve our nation&#8217;s natural, historical, and cultural heritage for our children and grandchildren.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Gwyneth Paltrow Gets On The Baby Buggy Campaign</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/72-gwyneth-paltrow&quot;&gt;Gwyneth Paltrow&lt;/a&gt; attended a special charity gala and auction hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; wife last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Tods and Baby Buggy Summer Luncheon took place on the Seinfelds&#8217; sprawling lawn in Amagansett, New York, and was co-hosted by designer Derek Lam and Jessica Seinfeld. The event showcased Tods&amp;#8217; latest fashion collection to raise funds for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1016-baby-buggy&quot;&gt;Baby Buggy&lt;/a&gt;, a charity dedicated to providing New York families with essential baby equipment, clothing, and products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a delectable lunch, Paltrow and Jerry Seinfeld were joined by stars such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1370-kelly-ripa&quot;&gt;Kelly Ripa&lt;/a&gt;, Diane Kruger, and Jessica Capshaw in the Seinfelds&#8217; 200-year-old barn for a special sale of boots, coats and bags from the Tod&#8217;s fall collection. Kruger and Paltrow both bought black cashmere trench coats, while Ripa bought a &#8220;Pashmy&#8221; baby bag.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;We give Baby Buggy all our stuff,&#8221; Paltrow told People magazine. &#8220;Strollers, car seats, clothes, toys.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, Baby Buggy received $150,000 from the Carnegie Corporation to help with their mission of supplying baby products to needy families.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/608-julia-roberts&quot;&gt;Julia Roberts&lt;/a&gt; has been confirmed to introduce the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/614-dave-matthews-band&quot;&gt;Dave Matthews Band&lt;/a&gt; when they play Madison Square Garden on September 10.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The charity is honored that she will be introducing the band at the concert.,&#8221; said a rep for the event. &#8220;Her support will make a huge difference.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stand Up For A Cure has previously organized concerts with Bon Jovi and the Beach Boys&#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1311-brian-wilson&quot;&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/a&gt;, as well as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/799-artists-are-standing-up-for-stand-up&quot;&gt;night of stand-up comedy&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;. Shows by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/916-andrea-bocelli&quot;&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/384-barry-manilow&quot;&gt;Barry Manilow&lt;/a&gt; are still in the pipeline. The charity believes the use of celebrities on TV, radio, in print and on the Internet helps to bolster awareness of issues such as lung cancer, and hopes their concert series will both raise funds for research into the disease and increase education about the effects of smoking.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Artists are Standing Up For Stand Up</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/17-elizabeth-willoughby&quot;&gt;Elizabeth Willoughby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/748-jerry-seinfeld-stands-up-for-a-cure&quot;&gt;previously reported&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; will perform in a benefit concert on June 2 at Madison Square Garden. The highly-anticipated show will be hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, and accompanied by an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charitybuzz.com/area.do?id=763&quot;&gt;online auction&lt;/a&gt; to benefit Stand Up For A Cure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stand Up For A Cure&amp;#8217;s strategy in eradicating lung cancer begins with the development of relationships. By creating meaningful partnerships with people in the entertainment industry, they gain high-profile artists who donate their time and talent. This brings much-needed attention and funding to their cause. By creating meaningful relationships with researchers, this funding is directed to the programs that show the best results and hope for progress in lung cancer research and improved treatments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The key, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/832-stand-up-for-a-cure&quot;&gt;Stand Up For A Cure&lt;/a&gt; believes, is in public awareness. Lung cancer research is seriously under-funded, in part because public opinion believes that lung cancer is a smoker&#8217;s disease, even though 60% of the newly-diagnosed don&#8217;t smoke or have never smoked. The use of celebrities on TV, radio, in print and on the Internet helps to bolster awareness, and so do their concerts. Next in line after Seinfeld is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1311-brian-wilson&quot;&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/a&gt; in July, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/614-dave-matthews-band&quot;&gt;Dave Matthews Band&lt;/a&gt; in September, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/916-andrea-bocelli&quot;&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/a&gt; in the fall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seinfeld has performed previously for Stand Up For A Cure, campaigning against the cancer that kills 450 Americans every day. According to the non-profit&#8217;s website, a new case of lung cancer is diagnosed every 3 minutes and carries a 5-year survival rate of only 14%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tickets are still available through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1206922&quot;&gt;Ticketmaster&lt;/a&gt;, with prices ranging from $254.50 to just over $1500 for the Seinfeld &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; Offer. For more information on the Seinfeld &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; Offer, call  212-209-3871, Option #1.

  <title>Jerry Seinfeld Stands Up For A Cure</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They say that laughter is the best medicine, and this June &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; will prove the proverb when he performs a one-night-only charity gig at Madison Square Garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 53-year-old comedian will bring his special brand of stand-up to the Wamu Theatre in New York on June 2 for a show benefiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/832-stand-up-for-a-cure&quot;&gt;Stand Up For A Cure&lt;/a&gt;, a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating lung cancer. Tickets for the concert, which will be hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, cost $350 for general admission and are available through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1206922&quot;&gt;Ticketmaster&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show will be accompanied by an online auction at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charitybuzz.com/area.do?id=763&quot;&gt;Charity Buzz&lt;/a&gt;, which will also raise money for patient care, public awareness, and research into lung cancer. The auction will run from May 20 to June 11, and items will be announced closer to the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stand Up For A Cure has also revealed they are organizing concerts from ex-Beach Boy &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1311-brian-wilson&quot;&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/614-dave-matthews-band&quot;&gt;Dave Matthews Band&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/916-andrea-bocelli&quot;&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/a&gt; later this year. Tickets are available from their &lt;a href=&quot;http://sufac.org/&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Bon Jovi Headline Charity Concert</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/25-jon-bon-jovi&quot;&gt;Bon Jovi&lt;/a&gt; has headlined the first concert in a charity series to raise funds for lung cancer research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show was held at Manhattan&#8217;s Hammerstein Ballroom on Tuesday, February 12, to a capacity crowd of 3,500, with proceeds going to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1004-memorial-sloan-kettering&quot;&gt;Memorial Sloan-Kettering&lt;/a&gt;, a facility that specializes in lung cancer. The Center is also where Bon Jovi guitarist &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/375-richie-sambora&quot;&gt;Richie Sambora&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; father received treatment for the disease before his death last year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Cancer is relentless; you can&amp;#8217;t stop it,&amp;#8221; said Sambora, who opened the concert with a 30 minute set of solo material. &amp;#8220;Hopefully this money will help find answers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concert was organized by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/832-stand-up-for-a-cure&quot;&gt;Stand Up For A Cure&lt;/a&gt;, and is expected to be the first of a yearlong series to benefit the cancer center. The organization hopes to pull together at least seven concerts in that time, and have already confirmed a stand-up performance from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; on June 2 at Madison Square Garden, a concert with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1311-brian-wilson&quot;&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/a&gt; and special guests at the Hammerstein Ballroom on July 11, and a performance by Italian tenor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/916-andrea-bocelli&quot;&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/a&gt; set for a to-be-determined date in December.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jordan Belkin, Executive Producer for Stand Up For A Cure, hopes the concert series will not only raise money for cancer research but also awareness for what he calls a &amp;#8220;severely under-funded&amp;#8221; disease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in the world,&amp;#8221; he told Billboard.com. &amp;#8220;We need to get the message out and get money into the programs that are offering a potential cure for treatment. By groups like Bon Jovi donating their time and support to this cause, I think we&amp;#8217;re getting closer to doing so.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>12th Annual Andre Agassi Benefit Concert Raises More than $9 Million for Children</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/23-delinda-lombardo&quot;&gt;Delinda Lombardo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 12th Annual Andre Agassi Grand Slam for Children Benefit Concert presented by Genworth Financial proved to be a raging success last weekend, raising more than $9 million for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/41-andre-agassi-charitable-foundation&quot;&gt;Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.  The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AACF&lt;/span&gt; raised $8.1 million through ticket sales and a silent auction, while Charles Heers, owner of Tuscany Suites &amp;amp; Casino in Las Vegas pledged an additional $1 million to bring the total to $9.1 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am grateful that there are so many people dedicated to helping kids,&amp;#8221; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/209-andre-agassi&quot;&gt;Agassi&lt;/a&gt; said. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m thrilled with the turnout from the public, the generosity of our sponsors, donors and bidders, and the commitment and talent of the performers who so graciously give their time to the Grand Slam. It was one of the greatest nights of the year.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The star-studded concert at the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;MGM&lt;/span&gt; Grand Garden Arena on October 6th attracted more than 8,200 fans who enjoyed live music by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/727-tony-bennett&quot;&gt;Tony Bennett&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/498-kelly-clarkson&quot;&gt;Kelly Clarkson&lt;/a&gt;, Matchbox Twenty and George Wallace. Several surprises throughout the night included performances by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/601-goo-goo-dolls&quot;&gt;Goo Goo Dolls&lt;/a&gt; and Hall &amp;amp; Oats.  Fans were also treated to a fantastic performance from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/639-carlos-santana&quot;&gt;Carlos Santana&lt;/a&gt; and Matchbox Twenty front man &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1631-rob-thomas&quot;&gt;Rob Thomas&lt;/a&gt;, who teamed up to close the evening with their multi-Grammy Award- winning hit &amp;#8220;Smooth.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A pre-concert reception and live auction was held for &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; sponsors, who bid on a variety of items including a Porsche Cayenne from the Sopranos signed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/817-james-gandolfini&quot;&gt;James Gandolfini&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/633-edie-falco&quot;&gt;Edie Falco&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/157-robin-williams&quot;&gt;Robin Williams&amp;#8217;&lt;/a&gt; movie premiere and after-party; an in-home food and wine pairing for 12 with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/816-emeril-lagasse&quot;&gt;Emeril Lagasse&lt;/a&gt;; an evening at a Six Flags park for 500 friends; and vacation packages such as a Costa Rican getaway with private tennis lessons from Agassi and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/820-stefanie-graf&quot;&gt;Stefanie Graf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two most noteworthy auction items were the Porsche Cayenne and a Dale Chihuly chandelier. The 2005 Porsche Cayenne &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/span&gt;, which was plucked from the set of the Sopranos, fetched $100,000.  The vehicle once driven by &#8216;Carmela Soprano&#8217; boasts a 4.5-liter V8 engine, as well as a 350-watt, 14-speaker Bose stereo and only has 6,758 miles on it. Richard and Theresa Beauchamp from Steamboat Springs, Colorado placed the winning bid for $90,000, but auctioneer Jack Williams added $10,000 of his own money to bring the total price to $100,000. The Beauchamps&#8217; new ride comes complete with a bronze plaque bearing the signatures of Sopranos stars James Gandolfini and Edie Falco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps earning the highest bid of the night was the Mercato del Pesce di Rialto Chandelier, sculpted by renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Chihuly created the chandelier during his two years of work in Finland, Ireland, Mexico and Italy, where the chandelier was then suspended over the canals and piazzas of Venice. The historical piece is six feet wide and six feet tall and is composed of approximately 126 glass elements. Final bid: $250,000.&lt;/p&gt;
