Sandy benefit concert raises $23 million in pledges

Excerpt:

The NBC telethon is just one of many fundraising efforts for the storm. Kirstie Alley, Drew Carey, Gary Sinise and Wayne Brady are among the stars who have been recruited by "Entertainment Tonight" to make public service announcements encouraging TV viewers to donate to the American Red Cross. One of the first of these appeared Thursday night on "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS. Last week, Alec Baldwin visited New York University students affected by the storm, and Ben Stiller was spotted serving food at a shelter in Brooklyn. And Phish frontman Trey Anastasio joined volunteers in Brooklyn by handing out emergency supplies on Sunday, reports Gothamist. 25 Photos Seaside Heights: Now and then CBS made a $1 million donation to the Red Cross and is matching employee contributions.
