"Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast like no other storm in recorded history," Vereen said in a statement. "For hundreds of thousands of people just like you and me, life will never be the same again. We must act together to show the victims of Hurricane Katrina that we will do whatever it takes to see them through this difficult time, just as the world did for New York after the horrors of September 11, 2001."

The profits from Broadway's Celebrity Benefit for Hurricane Relief will go directly to America's Second Harvest and Quilts for Kids, two charitable organizations working with the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
