Variety’s Power of Youth Initiative is focused on encouraging top young talent to become involved with philanthropic and humanitarian causes, using their positions in popular culture to motivate others to do the same.

All net proceeds from 2009 benefit Starlight Children’s Foundation and LA’s BEST.

The event, now in its third year, is an invitation-only afternoon full of fun, festivities and live performances. Guests include the children and families from Starlight and LA’s BEST, as well as over 200 of our celebrity supporters. This year we are honoring 5 young stars who are really making a difference to their chosen charities.
