“New York City is at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis has created a whole new set of challenges for the millions of New Yorkers who already struggled to make ends meet,” said Robin Hood CEO Wes Moore in a statement. “This is a moment where we must all come together and rise up together as a community in support of our neighbors and in support of one another.”
100 percent of money raised during Rise Up New York! will benefit Robin Hood and its efforts in helping the lower-income community in New York that has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In terms of how to watch the telethon, Billboard notes that it will be simultaneously broadcast on all New York City TV stations, iHeartMedia and Entercom broadcast radio stations, News 12, Spectrum News NY1, SiriusXM and nationally on CNBC.
