Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria and the earthquakes
that took place in Mexico.
TIDAL also announced that BACARDĺ® rum will be the presenting sponsor of TIDAL X: Brooklyn. As part of the sponsorship, BACARDĺ has committed $1.3 million specifically to TIDAL X: Brooklyn charities. This is in addition to the Bacardi family and company's previously announced $3 million in general disaster relief support for local relief agencies supporting communities impacted in Florida, Puerto Rico, other islands in the Caribbean, The Bahamas, and Mexico.
"This
partnership with TIDAL: X touches on two areas that are very close to
our heart – music and philanthropy. BACARDĺ is proud to play a part
in raising awareness and funding for the regions affected by these
terrible disasters, including Puerto Rico, Florida and the Caribbean region -- all homes to our family and company," said Facundo L. Bacardi, Chairman, Bacardi.
BACARDĺ and TIDAL X: Brooklyn will join Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort for Puerto Rico
by covering the cost of cargo planes desperately needed to transport
donated goods (i.e., cleaning supplies, toiletries, canned food,
clothing, etc.) to Puerto Rico.
Artists will also participate in a public awareness campaign to
encourage New Yorkers to donate goods and money to help the people of Puerto Rico recover.
Governor Cuomo said, "After seeing the terrible devastation in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands firsthand, it is clear that those affected by these natural disasters need our help more than ever. We in New York are putting the full weight of our resources behind recovery efforts, and I am grateful to TIDAL X: Brooklyn
and its sponsors for joining us and helping to deliver much-needed
goods to people in desperate need. We must do everything we can to help
these communities rebuild, and I encourage all New Yorkers to join us
in our efforts."
