NEW YORK – Jerry Seinfeld, Bruce Springsteen, Jim Gaffigan, Norah Jones, Questlove, and the legendary Jon Stewart are set to headline the annual Stand Up for Heroes fundraiser later this year.

The event, which aims to benefit injured veterans and their families, will also feature comedian Mark Normand and musician Patti Scialfa, who is married to Springsteen. Jon Stewart has been a core part of the fundraiser for several years.

This year’s Stand Up for Heroes will take place on November 11 at David Geffen Hall in the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. Over the years, the event has raised an impressive $84 million to support veterans and military families.

Stand Up for Heroes was first launched in 2007 and is presented by the New York Comedy Festival and the Bob Woodruff Foundation. Woodruff, a journalist, was critically injured in a 2006 attack in Iraq while reporting for ABC News.

“Our 18th Stand Up for Heroes promises to be another unforgettable evening filled with laughter, music, and entertainment, as well as an opportunity to honor our veterans, service members, and their families,” said Suni Harford, the board chair of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. “Taking place on Veterans Day, it’s a perfect occasion to share the stories of our veterans and show them our collective appreciation.”

Tickets for Stand Up for Heroes will be available for purchase starting Thursday through bobwoodrufffoundation.org and the Lincoln Center box office.
