Aisha Tyler, Bob Saget, Cheryl Hines & More Set for Lili Claire Foundation's Benefit Concert and Poker Tournament
Some of the biggest names in film and television will come together on Nov. 15 to raise money for the Lili Claire Foundation, featuring music, poker and fun at The Venetian Las Vegas.
The Lili Claire 'Live Your Passion' Celebrity Benefit and Concert, presented by Hyundai and sponsored by Warner Bros. Television, will include a star-studded poker tournament, chaired by Seinfeld's Jason Alexander. A benefit concert, hosted by comedians Caroline Rhea and Aisha Tyler, will follow, featuring performances by R&B superstars All-4-One and Oscar-nominated musician Stephen Bishop, and a performance by Grammy nominated comedian Bob Saget.
Other celebrities scheduled to attend include*:
· Cheryl Hines of TV's Curb Your Enthusiasm
· Wendi McLendon-Covey of the hit comedy Bridesmaids
· Kevin Pollak of the classic crime thriller The Usual Suspects
· Kathy Najimy of TV's VEEP
· Patrick Warburton of TV's Rules of Engagement
· Jeff Garlin of ABC-TV's The Goldbergs
· Joshua Malina of ABC-TV's Scandal
The Lili Claire Foundation was born from one family's desire to provide the best life possible for their daughter Lili, who was born with a neurogenic birth condition known as Williams Syndrome, which would result in life-long cognitive disabilities as well as physical disabilities.
"With the help of our celebrity friends donating their time to this event, we can help enhance the lives of children and families living with special needs," said Keith Resnick, co-founder of The Lili Claire Foundation.
A silent auction will also be held, giving guests the opportunity to bid on once-in-a-lifetime experiences, such as: VIP packages to attend live television tapings, including the pre-finale of Dancing with the Stars; and a walk-on role in popular television shows, including the ABC-TV hit comedy The Goldbergs.
Tickets start at $50 for general admission. Special VIP tickets are available for $125. All proceeds from the benefit concert and silent auction will go to The Lili Claire Foundation.
More celebrity attendees will be announced in the coming weeks. Purchase tickets online at Venetian.com or by calling The Venetian Box Office at 702-414-9000. The Lili Claire foundation is also offering additional ticket packages that include entry to the invite-only poker tournament on November 15 at LiliClaire.org/events.
