Katy Perry, Jodi DiPiazza Sing at Night of Too Many Stars

By donating at http://cc.com/donate, you could help create many more quality schools, programs and services that are so desperately needed by the growing autism population. Jodi was lucky enough to get into one of the few schools available to help her reach her potential. Please help us give many more kids and adults with autism the same chance Jodi got.

Katy Perry and Jodi DiPiazza sang "Firework" at the Beacon Theater in New York on Oct 13. "Night of Too Many Stars: America Comes Together for Autism Programs" is hosted by Jon Stewart and raises money with NYCA (New York Collaborates for Autism) to support and create autism programs, schools, and services all over the country. Programs covering everything from the intensive education kids with autism need at a young age to social training for adults who want to contribute in the workplace. We've even created a "Teach the Teachers" program that helps train more teachers to work in the public school systems, for the many kids with autism who can't get into the few quality schools that can help them. 1 in 88 kids are now diagnosed on the Autistic spectrum. Many great organizations support research to unravel the mystery behind this condition. Night of Too Many Stars is working to help people who live with autism now.

I cannot watch this video without crying, Katy Perry you truly are a wonderful person. The way you let that beautiful little girl shine and the compassion you showed, only strengthens my love of your music. Katy and all those who aid in the welfare of the youth of our great country/world should be very very proud of themselves. If only everyone could be as generous and loving as Katy we'd have a more pleasant world to live in.

I rarely comment on the Internet, but when that nervous little girl smiled when KP softly came into the song with a reassuring presence, I cried like a school girl. Oh, I am a stoic person - machismo. Oh, I understand my comments will generate negative remarks, but I also know God makes Fools as well. I wish the entertainment industry and its performers would regularly produce such quality performances, but its probably requires more good people and less expensive
