Jennifer Lopez Teams With Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez For Disaster Relief Benefit
Jennifer Lopez will be joining forces with her boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez, and ex-husband, Marc Anthony, to provide help to those who are still in need following the recent hurricanes.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the trio will be releasing a televised, multi-city benefit concert and telethon that will feature a slew of artists. The performances will be held in Los Angeles and Miami and will be broadcasted on Univision and Telemundo on Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. and NBC at 10 p.m. EDT.
Some of the award-winning singers that will be performing live include Ricky Martin, Camila Cabello, Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani, Jamie Foxx, Chris Martin, Demi Lovato, and Mary J. Blige. Lopez, Anthony and Rodriguez’s show will also mark the very first time for two leading Spanish language networks to have simultaneous programming.
Proceeds from “One Voice: Somos Live!” will go directly to various organizations, namely, UNICEF, Feeding America, Habitat for Humanity, Unidos for Puerto Rico, Save the Children and United Way. Tickets for the star-studded show are available via the Marlins website.
This is not the first time that Lopez has helped the recent relief efforts following the hurricanes that plagued the nation. Last month, she and Anthony launched Somos Una Voz (We Are One), an initiative aimed at promoting awareness and humanitarian aid.
Bruno Mars, Pitbull, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Ed Sheeran and Jada Pinkett-Smith are just some of the celebrities that signed on for Somos Una Voz. More information about the initiative may be viewed via their official website.
Meanwhile, Lopez also announced that she will be donating $1 million for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico last month.
The “World of Dance” judge held a press conference and said, “My cousin and I and our family still haven’t been able to hear from all of our family over there and we are concerned for them and everyone on the island. Alex Rodriguez and I, who are both New Yorkers, are utilizing all our resources and relationships in entertainment, sports and business to garner support for Puerto Rican and Caribbean relief efforts.”
