By Lianne Elias

Nancy Cartwright, the Emmy award winning voice of Bart Simpson from the hit show, "The Simpsons," is co-hosting an all-star charity event to benefit Police Activity League Supporters' (PALS) Devonshire District youth center for at-risk kids.

Other Hollywood personalities involved in organizing the event include Chris and Danny Masterson (from "Malcolm in the Middle" and "That 70's Show," respectively), Laura Prepon ("That 70's Show"), Bijou Phillips, Isaac Hayes and Anne Archer.

The semi-formal event is scheduled to take place at Nancy Cartwright's home in Northridge, Calif. Sept. 30 beginning at 5:30 p.m. Guests will be treated to live music, dancing, an open bar and plenty of surprise entertainment, as well as the chance to compete against a slew of Hollywood celebrities and poker pros in the fundraising Texas Hold'em charity tournament.

Participants can buy-in to the tournament for $1,000. First place will be awarded a seat to the 2007 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas.
