iHeartMedia Las Vegas and News 3 Las Vegas are teaming up for a broadcast benefit April 29. A host of Nevada-based artists and friends of the community will take part in the 90 minute event on the group’s four stations and the local NBC affiliate.
Donations during the broadcast will go to support the UMC Foundation/ University Medical Center for front line workers. Donations will also support The Salvation Army Southern Nevada that has been impacted by the pandemic.
“Nothing lifts spirits and brings the community together more than music and entertainment,” said Glynn Alan, President and General Manager for iHeartMedia Las Vegas.
“Our ‘Stay Home For Nevada’ benefit gives us the opportunity to give back to the community by allowing the people of Las Vegas to donate to either The Salvation Army or UMC. All charitable donations will stay local in Las Vegas,” said Larry Strumwasser, Vice President and General Manager for News 3.
The broadcast will feature performances and appearances by Shania Twain, Nick Carter, David Copperfield, Sammy Hagar, Lee Brice, Criss Angel, Jimmie Allen, Taylor Dayne, Mat Franco, Human Nature, Murray The Magician, Puddles Pity Party, players from the NHL Vegas Golden Knights and players from the NFL Las Vegas Raiders. Nevada Governor, Steve Sisolak, is set to open the benefit.
