Cyndi Lauper’s 10th Anniversary Home For The Holidays

 

Cyndi Lauper’s  10th annual Home for the Holidays benefit concert  premiered on Friday, December 11 on  TikTok but there is  additional stream  TODAY Sunday, December 13 on Lauper’s YouTube and Facebook at 8PM EST.

 

This is a momentous occasion for Lauper and True Colors United, the organization she co-founded 12 years ago to prevent and end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth. 100% of the net proceeds of Home for the Holidays goes to support the work of True Colors United to prevent and end this urgent issue.

 

This year’s event is packed with appearances and performances by stars such as Adam Lambert, Amanda Shires & Jason Isbell, Bette Midler, Billie EilishBilly Porter, Billy SteinbergBoy George, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Carson Kressley, Cher, Dolly PartonHarvey FiersteinHenry RollinsJackson BrowneJudy GoldJustin Tranter, Kim Petras, King Princess, Kinky Boots, LL Cool J, Meg Myers, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Osbourne, Shea Diamond, Taylor SwiftTom KellyTracy YoungWhoopi Goldberg, and Youth Pride Chorus. Lauper will pop on to chat with fans during all livestreams.

It’s been a crazy year, but I am grateful for so many things – my immensely talented and generous friends who keep showing up for us year after year; the technology that is going to make it possible to bring our virtual concert to more people than ever; and all of our partners who help True Colors United do the work that we do. The Home for the Holidays concert is 10 years and over 100 artists in, and has raised over three million dollars, which is beyond what I could have imagined when we began. Most importantly though, we are truly helping LGBTQ young people experiencing homelessness. And to all of the fans who watch, donate, and celebrate with us, you are family. And I thank you.” – Cyndi Lauper

The concert will also feature the premiere of an animated PSA, with voiceover by Lauper, that launches the first ever global campaign on LGBTIQ+ youth homelessness. True Colors United has partnered with the United Nations Human Rights Office on this groundbreaking campaign to bring focus to the fact that LGBTIQ+ young people everywhere deserve a safe place to call home.

Home for the Holidays is free to watch, with fans encouraged to donate to True Colors United via donation button and stickers onYouTube, Facebook, as well as through www.truecolorsunited.org.
