Excerpts from the full article:
(Los Angeles, CA – September 9, 2020) – Event chair and host Barbara Davis and co-chair Dana Davis announced today that the 2020 Carousel of Hope Ball will go virtual on Saturday, October 10, 2020. In partnership with PEOPLE, the legendary biennial event, which is dedicated to raising funds for clinical care and diabetes research at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, will stream exclusively on PEOPLE.com, PeopleTV, PEOPLE social platforms (Facebook and Twitter) and PEOPLE YouTube. This year’s event will celebrate two very significant occasions – Davis’ 90th birthday, and the 40th Anniversary of the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes. The evening will be filled with once-in-a-lifetime performances and special appearances from icons including Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, Tony Bennett, Andrea Bocelli, George Clooney, Dame Joan Collins, Clive Davis, Robert De Niro, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Cynthia Erivo, Jane Fonda, David Foster, David Geffen, Josh Groban, Samuel L. Jackson, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight, Adam Lambert, Jay Leno, Rob Lowe, Nigel Lythgoe, Barry Manilow, Judge Judy Sheindlin, Diane Warren, Dionne Warwick, Oprah Winfrey, Henry Winkler, and many more!
Since its inception in 1978, the iconic event has been a Hollywood favorite, uniting entertainment, sports, and business industry leaders from all areas for a night dedicated to raising awareness and, ultimately, finding a cure for diabetes. Diabetes, which afflicts over 30 million people in the United States alone, is rapidly on the rise. It is estimated that each year, approximately 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Of those, 25,000 are children. The Carousel Balls have raised more than $105 million to date, with proceeds benefiting the Children’s Diabetes Foundation and the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes. Funds are raised through sponsorships, silent auction, and contributions.

I assume that the performances in this event will largely be "at home." Nevertheless, I'm excited to find out what Adam will be doing. Lots of big names involved in this!
Looking forward to this, I plan not to be busy during this event. Haha
Impressive line-up! Some SERIOUS voices in there....Glad to see Adam in THIS company. Wonder what he'll sing? Not going to miss this event!
Just wondering....Do singers performing in these charitable events sing whatever they want, or do they coordinate their songs with the programmers. There's some "belters" in this line-up (besides Adam) capable of delivering some very stirring performances.
I only ask, because there's a whole lot of monumental and inspiring "covers" that I would LOVE to hear Adam put his unique STAMP on ...with his big gorgeous voice....I'm referring to "goosebump music"! I bet I'm not alone in that wish.
INDELIBLY imprinted in my mind is the sight/sound of Howard Keel, on film, belting out "You'll Never Walk Alone" (over a shot of a little girl struggling on crutches) at a Movie intermission film for a Polio Fund Drive back in those pre-Polio vaccine days. Boy, did THAT open wallets! There wasn't a dry-eye in the theatre....or a full wallet when it was over! Inspiring "Goosebump Music"!....requiring a "Goosebump voice"....like Adam's.
