Justin Bieber, Jason Bateman and Halle Berry are among the stars set to make an appearance on the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s “Think It Up” telecast to raise donations for education initiative.

Bieber will perform during the show, as will country musician Kacey Musgraves. Bateman and Berry will appear alongside Julie Chen, Terry Crews, Jennifer Garner, Taylor Lautner, Joe Manganiello, Seth Meyers, and J.K. Simmons.

They join previously announced participants Kristen Bell, Stephen Colbert, Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeremy Renner, Ryan Seacrest and Jessica Williams.

The telecast, which is produced by Jesse Ignjatovic and Evan Prager for Den of Thieves, working with Entertainment Industry Foundation producers, will launch and accept donations via thinkitup.org, a platform to fund educational projects in partnership with DonorsChoose.org, a teacher crowdfunding charity.

“The entire Think It Up show is about creating energy,” said Evan Prager from Den of Thieves in a statement. “We’ll have a large standing audience and our celebrity talent will be able to interact with the kids on the floor and create a genuine connection. Think It Up is an incredibly exciting initiative and with the help of all the celebrities that have agreed to participate, we are going to help make this one-hour special an incredible launch for this important movement.”

The telecast will air on ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox on Friday, Sept. 11, 2015, at 8 p.m. ET.
