The proceeds will go towards aid organisations including CARE, Project Medishare, Yele Haiti and Children’s Safe Drinking Water.
The Hope For Haiti Now telethon and gig, which took place earlier this month, has raised $66m (£42.1m) so far.
Actor George Clooney organised the event, with some of the world’s top celebrities taking part in the broadcast from New York, Los Angeles, London and Haiti.
Some of them performed while others, including director Steven Spielberg, singer Stevie Wonder and TV star Ellen DeGeneres, took telephone pledges from viewers.
