A night to remember — and for an unforgettable cause!
With the help of some special guests, Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy raised a TON of money to help fund autism treatment for low-income and at-risk families!
The New Kids on the Block member joined forces with Generation Rescue to put on an epic benefit concert in St. Charles, IL on Tuesday night, raising $759,000 to spread awareness and fund a local low-income autism treatment center.

The event was packed with fans, sponsors, and supporters cheering on Wahlberg as he took the stage with special guests — including the Chicago Children’s Choir, along with fellow NKOTB members Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre and Danny Wood.
McCarthy kicked off the show with a heartfelt speech announcing the groundbreaking of a custom built health clinic providing comprehensive treatment for all those across the special needs spectrum.
She said of the event:
“This evening is very special to me. Not only does it help Generation Rescue provide low-income families with access to essential treatment, but it also gives Donnie and I a chance to connect with friends and fans in a special way. There’s no greater unity than spreading love for a good cause.”
We couldn’t agree more!
More special guests that stopped by Another Evening with Donnie Wahlberg were Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris from Boyz II Men and hip-hop group Naughty By Nature. Power of the ’90s!
Sounds like the evening couldn’t be more of a success! Ch-ch-check out more pics from the event (above).
