The event will benefit United Together for Health Care Heroes, an initiative of United Way of Long Island’s Response Fund for COVID-19. The not-for-profit is working with local restaurants to deliver meals to responders at hospitals across Long Island.
Each artist is contributing a performance, with most performed exclusively for the broadcast.
“We are thrilled that so many of our Long Island Music Hall of Fame inductees are contributing…,” said Ernie Canadeo, chairman of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. “It promises to be a very exciting show, with so many diverse music genres being represented that represent Long Island’s vast musical heritage.”
