Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

confirm 501 3c of an organization
I am assisting a friend with Public Relations and promoting a charity event that takes place in January. All proceeds are to go a charity organization - ''Under the Star International''.

How do I know that the organization is really a 501 3C?

What happens if the organization is NOT a 501 3C and money is collected?

I do not want to be caught up in any improprieties.

I want to be clear for my own sake that everything is appropriate.
