UNICEF USA
will host its premier streaming event,
UNICEF Won’t Stop,
on Saturday, May 9th at 8:00pm ET.
UNICEF Won’t Stop will feature musical performances and
special appearances, and will highlight UNICEF’s COVID-19
response, frontline workers, health experts and the children
UNICEF serves.
The free broadcast will be streamed on www.unicefwontstop.org
and exclusively streamed on NBC
News NOW, Peacock
(Universal’s new streaming service), NBCNews.com and MSNBC.com.
UNICEF’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is
focused on providing critical supplies to health facilities,
preventing the spread of new infection, ensuring the
continuity of education and analyzing data to inform where
and how to best deploy resources. To ensure that all four
areas of focus are being prioritized, UNICEF has released an
appeal for $651.6 million.
Proceeds from the song "Chiquitita" have
benefited UNICEF's work since the 1979 Music for
UNICEF Concert. “I am so proud to premiere this new version
during the broadcast of UNICEF Won’t Stop,” said Cher. “I’ve
long admired UNICEF, especially for their work with young
women since I was a little girl. Now, more than ever, it’s
critical that we prioritize every child around the world as
if they were our own.”
The broadcast will feature performances and
