In a press release, HOT 97 GM ALEX CAMERON commented, "This holiday season the entire EMMIS NY staff will volunteer a day of service on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12th to provide those less fortunate in our communities a truly special and memorable Holiday feast with a first-class experience that not only feeds and entertains people but that does so in a respectful and dignified way with the hope of Lifting Up Others with nourishment for both bodies and souls.  It is our distinct pleasure and privilege to serve and make a difference together."

The LIFT 'EM UP festivities will include gourmet food provided by celebrity chefs and HOT 97’s own DJ CAMILO, whose restaurant, BLEND, will be providing one of their signature menu items.  Also scheduled is a performance from SLIP-N-SLIDE/CAPITOL singer/songwriter SEBASTIAN MIKAEL.
