Latin music stars Marc Anthony, Luis Fonsi, Chayanne, Feid and Jay Wheeler will join dozens of performers for an international benefit concert in Miami on Aug. 16 to raise funds for communities devastated by earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia.
The “Unidos por Los Nuestros,” or “United for Our Own,” concert will be held at 6 p.m. EDT at Miami’s Kaseya Center and livestreamed and broadcast across several platforms. Proceeds from online donations and ticket sales will support both immediate and long-term relief efforts, including rebuilding homes, repairing schools and community spaces, supporting children and providing mental health services.
Marc Anthony, a multiple Grammy Award winner whose nonprofit Maestro Cares Foundation will administer the funds with the Univision Foundation, said helping people affected by disasters was a shared responsibility.
