JONAS BROTHERS ANNOUNCE TARGET PRESENTS VARIETY'S POWER OF YOUTH EVENT

The Jonas Brothers are taking their new role as Power of Youth Ambassadors to a new level with the 2008 Target Presents Variety's Power of Youth in L.A. on October 4.
"We're doing whatever we can do make kids' lives better," Nick Jonas, 15, told Usmagazine.com as they toured St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Target House in Memphis on Monday.
"[It's] something that's been in our hearts for a long time," Joe Jonas, 18, told Us.
"Our parents and grandparents have all donated to St. Jude!" Nick added.
Nick's personal health has given him insight into children's issues.
"I'm a diabetic," he said. "I know that when someone is diagnosed with something like that they feel alone. If we can just offer some encouragement even if it's just taking a photo or signing an autograph then we're doing our part to help them not feel so alone."
Kevin Jonas, 20, was touched by the tour of the facility.
"It was very touching to meet all of these kids and look them in the eyes," he told Us. "Even if it's only for a moment, it helps to take that pain away. The pure joy in their eyes is possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life."
Other young stars who'll be at 2008 Target Presents Variety's Power of Youth to raise money for St. Jude: Hilary Duff, Miranda Cosgrove, Miley Cyrus, Dakota Fanning, Angus T. Jones, Demi Lovato, Corbin Bleu, Elle Fanning, Eliza Dushku, Olivia Thirlby, Ashley Tisdale and Emma Roberts.
