Sue Scheff: Queen Latifah and Sean Combs Host American Airlines Arena Concert: Help for Haiti

On February 5th, Queen Latifah and Sean Combs will be hosting SOS Saving Ourselves: Help for Haiti at the American Airlines Arena. The nationally televised telethon will benefit organizations providing immediate relief in Haiti, including Yéle Haiti, CARE and Project MediShare.

The three-hour telecast will air live on BET, Centric, MTV and VH1 at 8 p.m. and will include appearances and performances by Mary J. Blige, Ludacris, Justin Bieber, Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and others to be announced.

As with the recent telethon hosted by George Clooney (watch video), some heavy-hitter celebrities will also be on hand answering phones. Tickets to the benefit concert will be available on Ticketmaster.com and at the AAA box office.

What a great opportunity to attend an event for the entire family. Plan now and get your tickets early. Teens and children learn by example, as our country has come together to help Haiti, let's bring our families together to help those in need.

Teaching our children young to give back is a gift that is priceless and will empower their adult lives.
