Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund to Hold NYC Benefit Concert.

Cyndi Lauper has invited some of her very famous and very talented friends to take part in a concert for her True Colors Fund, which helps raise awareness about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth homelessness.




The show, dubbed “Home for the Holidays,” will take place on December 4 at New York City’s historic Beacon Theatre. In addition to a performance from Lauper herself, other celebs slated to appear include Norah Jones, Amy Lee, Rosie O’Donnell, Wanda Sykes, Carson Kressley, Chely Wright, Skylar Grey, Vanessa Carlton, Angelique Kidjo, Harvey Fierstein, Deluka, Debbie Harry, Alan Cumming and Clay Aiken.


Tickets are available at LiveNation.com.


Lauper was inspired to create the True Colors Fund after meeting a group of young homeless gay and transgender people in NYC several years ago — kids who’d mainly been cast out of their homes due to family conflict.Last month, Lauper opened the True Colors Residence, a first-of-its-kind 30 studio apartment building dedicated to serving LGBT homeless youth and whose goal is to “provide a physically and emotionally safe and supportive environment that will empower our young residents to be the self-loving, happy, and successful individuals they were meant to be.”


All of the net proceeds from “Home for the Holidays” will benefit the True Colors Fund, enabling the organization to continue its mission.
