New York: Entertainment superstars including Beyonce and George Clooney will headline a telethon to raise money for victims of massive storm Harvey, organizers announced Tuesday.
The one-hour September 12 special - to be broadcast on all four US networks and livestreamed on social media platforms - will urge donations to aid groups working in the aftermath of the disaster.
Beyonce - a native of hard-hit Houston who has vowed a generous response - will be making her first public appearance since giving birth to twins in June.
Dubbed 'Hand in Hand', the telethon will also feature performances, appearances or taped messages by Hollywood A-listers Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts, Adam Sandler and Reese Witherspoon.
Also scheduled to appear are singing great Barbra Streisand and talk-show titan Oprah Winfrey.
The special will take place in Los Angeles with stages in New York and Nashville, as well as a performance by Texas country music star George Strait as part of a charity concert in San Antonio.
