The devastation of Hurricane Sandy gave us a lot to digest this week.

And, in response, NBCUniversal and its networks—think NBC, Bravo, CNBC, E!, G4, MSNBC, Style, Syfy and USA—are teaming up to broadcast a live one-hour telethon called "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together" to benefit the victims.

The special, which airs this Friday, Nov. 2, at 8/7c, will be filmed live from 30 Rockefeller Plaza with host Matt Lauer and guests like Jimmy Fallon and Brian Williams. Plus, they'll be joined by special performances from Christina Aguilera, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and Sting.

All donations made during the telethon will be donated to the American Red Cross and their relief efforts. But if you want to start donating early, you can visit their website, call 1-800-RED-CROSS or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make an easy $10 donation.

Make sure to support the relief efforts by tuning in to the telethon—which will air live on all NBCUniversal networks—this Friday, Nov. 2, at 8/7c.
