In a press release today, The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) announced that the Grammy nominated Jonas Brothers, will play a special concert at Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena on January 18, 2009 to help raise funds for the annual Charity Preview.
The 2009 Charity Preview will take place at Cobo Center on January 16 from 6-9 PM.
For every Charity Preview ticket purchased, patrons will receive one free ticket to see the Jonas Brothers live in concert on January 18, 2009 at Joe Louis Arena. There are a limited number of Charity Preview tickets that are tied to the Jonas Brothers concert. Tickets must be purchased between December 23, 2008 and January 5, 2009. Proceeds from all ticket sales will go to benefit Charity Preview. Charity Preview ticket holders who purchased prior to December 23 will be contacted and given the option for Jonas Brothers tickets as well.
The proceeds from Charity Preview provide medical treatment, clothing and support services for local kids in need. Since its inception in 1976, Charity Preview has raised over $77 million for children’s charities in Southeastern Michigan.

The Jonas Brothers are no strangers to charity work. Through their Change For The Children Foundation, they raise funds to support programs that motivate and inspire children to face adversity with confidence, determination and the will to succeed. Their first fundraising initiative — You Decide. You Donate. — launched this past summer and through the generosity of their fans, was able to donate to charities including NothingButNets.net, American Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Camp, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and Summer Stars.
“We couldn’t be more pleased that an act as large as the Jonas Brothers have offered their support to Charity Preview,” said Joe Serra, senior co-chair of the 2009 NAIAS, in the press release. “Not only will attendees be supporting local children’s charities in this time of dire need, but they will be able to provide the kids in their life with a ticket to the hottest concert in town.”
You can get more information at the Charity Preview website.

Patrons that have already purchased tickets will also be able to take advantage of this offer by simply contacting the Charity Preview ticket offices at 888-838-7500* by December 29. After December 29, concert tickets will be released to other Charity Preview ticket purchasers.
(*Hey, kids. This isn’t a phone number for you to call and talk about how hot you think the Jonas Brothers are. Just wanted to clarify that to avoid having these folks flooded with “OMG I LOVE JOE JONAS” phone calls.)
