Aside from raising millions of dollars for Hurricane Harvey and Irma victims, Hand In Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief featured celebrities from across the nation (and a couple of Canadians). Some, put on masterful performances, some told victim stories and others worked the phones taking donations from viewers.
The seating arrangements had to have been more than first-come-first-serve, but if they were strategic, I’m lost. Also, what a cool thing to see so many people come together to help others in need.
