Local celebrities are coming together on Sunday, June 28 for a LIVE online charity concert to support families and those who have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 situation in Singapore.
Presented by UnUsUaL Entertainment and mm2 Entertainment, the LIVE IT UP Charity Concert will be broadcasted live on Sunday 28 June 2020 at 9 pm (Singapore time) over Official Media AsiaOne’s Facebook page. Concert hosts Irene Ang and Jaspers Lai will be joined by local celebrities including Dick Lee, Jack Neo, Li Nanxing, Marcus Chin, ShiGGa Shay, Tosh Zhang and Ryan Lian. The guest artists will each perform a musical number, as well as engage with their fans over the Facebook live feed.
The charitable donations raised during the concert will go towards local charities SPD and Community Chest, who are providing support for peoples with disabilities, low-income families, the elderly and individuals whose circumstances are a constant struggle. These groups are amongst the most affected by the impact of COVID-19 and may need even greater support in this current climate, with more expected to seek financial assistance as the full economic impact of COVID-19 hits Singapore.
Mr Abhimanyau Pal, Chief Executive Office, SPD, said:
The COVID-19 situation has adversely affected many lives. Vulnerable groups, such as people with disabilities will continue to require support and assistance whether the economy is good or bad. Hence, donations received will help us provide them with the necessary support this period and beyond COVID-19. This is especially important when the fundraising situation is expected to be challenging in the near to long-term period.
The LIVE IT UP concert will be streamed live at Official Venue 2mm Talent Hub, with safe management measures following the IMDA advisory for the resumption of content production in Phase 1 of the post-circuit breaker period. This is to ensure the health and safety of the artists and production crew. Members of the public will not be permitted to attend the recording but are encouraged to share their care and support online and through donations made via PayNow or Giving.sg.
