Chief operating officer of Seminole Gaming, David Hoenemeyer, pledged that \u201c100 per cent of net proceeds will directly benefit recovery efforts, helping families and communities rebuild with hope and dignity\u201d via the Hard Rock Heals Foundation.<\/p>\n
Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, explained that \u2018Stay Strong Jamaica\u2019 is part of the \u2018I Love Jamaica\u2019 initiative under which concerts are being hosted in major cities across the world with the aim of raising funds to support the national hurricane recovery effort.<\/p>\n
Minister Grange thanked the entertainment community for \u201cbeing there for Jamaica\u201d, adding that \u201cthis concert will contribute funds to the rebuilding process but, more than anything else, it will lift the spirits of the Jamaican people\u201d.<\/p>\n
