Ben Stiller has enlisted former US President Bill Clinton to co-host a fundraiser for Haitian children.

The pair will join art dealer David Zwirner at the September 23 gala, which is to be held at New York City's Skylight Soho gallery.

All money raised during the evening will benefit The Stiller Foundation, which seeks to build new schools for Haitian children.

Watch Ben Stiller pitch his idea for 'StillerStrong' charity bracelets to Bill Clinton below:

The Zoolander star launched The Stiller Foundation after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, killing thousands and damaging the country's infrastructure.

Clinton and fellow former US President George W Bush created their own Haitian relief fund days after the natural disaster struck.

Tower Heist, Stiller's next film, opens in the US and UK on November 4.
