"There are 2.5 million farm workers in the U.S. They are extremely vulnerable. There is a crisis in farm workers. They are not getting the support from our government and they are on the front lines of our very food supply," said festival co-founder Manny Ruiz, "If the farm workers go down, our food supply goes down. So actually it's a very patriotic reason to do this, aside from the humanitarian side."

"It's exciting to have the opportunity to change the narrative of Cinco de Mayo through the power of an innovative livestream production that is also fun, inclusive, interactive and purpose-driven," says actress and TV host Lizza Monet Morales, who is the creative partner for Altísimo Live! and is co-producing it through WFHN-TV, a platform she co-founded.

"LiveXLive is proud to support such a great cause and equally excited to bring an incredible lineup of talent to viewers all around the world in partnership with the great folks at Altisimo Live!," said Dermot McCormack, president of LiveXLive. "Live music continues to unite people as we work through these challenging times together."

Fashion designers Mario De la Torre, Carlos Marrero, and Raul Peñaranda, will also join the event to share how they are using their talent and unique designs in support of the pandemic relief effort. Some of their special edition farmworker-inspired designs will be available for purchase in support of the fund.

This historic livestream benefit will aim to raise $3 million – $5 at a time– for the Farmworkers Pandemic Relief Fund and will include a jam-packed day of at-home, all-star performances, celebrity activations, comedy skits, and much more. Donations can be made on the Farmworkers' COVID- 19 Pandemic Relief website or by texting CINCO to 91999 to make your $5 donation to support farmworkers.

Justice for Migrant Women and Hispanics in Philanthropy created the Farmworkers' Pandemic Relief Fund in order to meet some of the community's basic needs. Money raised through this fundraising effort will be disbursed to farmworker-serving organizations around the U.S. and Puerto Rico to help provide food, formula, diapers, emergency financial assistance for medical needs and other support during this crisis. Organizations such as the Coalition of Florida Farmworker Organizations (FL), East Coast Migrant Head Start Project (Multi-state), Farmworker Association of Florida (FL), The United Farm Workers Foundation (CA, WA), Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noreste (PCUN) (OR), Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA) (FL), Pathstone (Multi-state), NC Fields (NC), La Cooperativa Campesina de California (CA), Proteus, Inc. (Multi-state), Student Action with Farmworkers (NC), Telamon Corporation (Multi-state), UMOS (WI, MN) and La Union del Pueblo Entero (TX) have been named among the recipients from this fund who are providing the farmworker community members with much-needed aid.
