"Today, with the most incredible team, we are supporting families across the country in ways I could have never imagined. I am so grateful that Jerry and Amy will be helping us celebrate and to kick off our next chapter. This will be an unforgettable evening."
The evening's Co-Chairs are Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld, Lily and Doug Band, Jennifer Koen and Mark Horowitz, Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ali Wentworth and George Stephanopoulos, Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, Connie Verducci, and Naomi Watts.
"An Evening with Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer" is presented by Bank of America. Additional support for the evening is provided by Acura, American Express, Delta Children, Crackle and Glenview Capital Management.
