“And in Las Vegas, which has been so welcoming to Michael Jackson, the entire city has been shut down leaving thousands of workers and their families devastated and without income,” they said.
“This incredibly generous donation from the Michael Jackson Estate will help ensure those onstage, backstage and behind the scenes get lifesaving health care, emergency financial assistance and counselling during and after this crisis,” Tom Viola of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS said.
The Jackson Estate’s donation will reportedly provide 300,000 meals for those in need in Las Vegas as well as contributing to the the Three Square Food Bank, the largest in Southern Nevada.
Steve Boom, chair of MusiCares, said: “MusiCares is very grateful for the outpouring of generosity we’ve seen from many in the music industry to grow the COVID-19 Relief Fund.
