"It's been a crazy year, but I am grateful for so many things - my immensely talented and generous friends who keep showing up for us year after year; the technology that is going to make it possible to bring our virtual concert to more people than ever; and all of our partners who help True Colors United do the work that we do," Lauper said in a press release.

During the concert, Lauper will premiere an animated PSA launching the first ever global campaign on LGBTQ youth homelessness. True Colors United has partnered with the United Nations Human Rights Office on the campaign.

Lauper discussed Home for the Holidays during Monday's episode of CBS This Morning.

"It's a lot of fun. You could watch it, dance around, have some fun, listen, be moved, and donate some. Keep us going," she said.
