The Jonas Brothers [ tickets ] will play a special concert Jan. 18 at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena to help raise funds for the Charity Preview event that is annually held prior to the public opening of The North American International Auto Show.

For every Charity Preview ticket purchased, patrons will receive one free ticket to see the JoBros live in concert, according to a press release. Proceeds from all ticket sales will go to Charity Preview, whose beneficiaries include Boys & Girls Club, The Detroit Institute for Children, Easter Seals, March of Dimes and Children's Hospital of Michigan, among others.

The 2009 Charity Preview, to be held Jan. 16 at Cobo Center, has raised more than $77 million for children's charities in the metro Detroit area since its 1976 inception.

The Jonas Brothers join a list of celebrities that have attended Charity Preview in years past including Celine Dion, Aretha Franklin, Kid Rock and Jay Leno.

"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. "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 lives with a ticket to the hottest concert in town."

The Jonas Brothers also head their own charity, Change For The Children Foundation, which raises funds to support programs that motivate and inspire children to face adversity with confidence, determination and the will to succeed.
