Eli and his sister Lily are inviting the world to #ComeSayHi, they know that the more we understand each other and celebrate our differences the better the world will be.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, and everyone at WE Day, want to spread Eli’s message. A simple two-letter word can open up doors, help us raise awareness, and cure EB. The WE Day special will be aired on ABC, Friday, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
Featuring host Neil Patrick Harris and chart-topping performers and iconic celebrities, including Mahershala Ali, Chance The Rapper, Selena Gomez, Joe Jonas, Bill Nye, Natalie Portman, Lilly Singh, Hailee Steinfeld, Pentatonix, Meghan Trainor, and Eddie Vedder.
