Charitably minded
* Rita Harvey, Capathia Jenkins,
Natalie Toro and Ted Levy are among Broadway stars who appeared at Monday's appropriately named Night of Broadway Stars at the Kimmel Center. They helped to raise about $220,000 for the local Covenant House, a shelter for homeless and runaway youth. Composer Neil Berg hosted the show and played the piano during the performance. He appears each year, as does Jenkins. For more information on Covenant House,

* The Road Company Theater Group
is holding a 5K walk/run Saturday to raise money to rebuild the Grand Theatre in Williamstown, N.J., on the first anniversary of its collapse. MyPhl17's Damian Muziani serves as the emcee, and the Woodland String Band performs. Registration starts at 8 a.m. For information, visit roadcompany.dojiggy.com.
* Last night's Northeastern Penn-
sylvania Candidates Comedy Night in Wilkes-Barre is now the second offshoot of Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky's annual Candidates Comedy Night. The Wilkes-Barre event raised money for the GOALS Foundation, promoting youth sports in that area. Byko's event, which will be this summer, for the 21st straight year, raises money for Variety, the children's charity. State Supreme Court Justice Max Baer was the first to borrow Bykofsky's charitable comedy concept.
