Helping Ou

ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS raised over $200,000 hosting the EL PASO STRONG telethon on AUGUST 18th for the victims and families of the tragic event that occurred on AUGUST 3rd in EL PASO, TX. The five-and-a-half-hour live radio telethon -- on top of a three-hour live telethon on ENTRAVISION’s UNIVISION TEXAS stations -- benefited PASO DEL NORTE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION’s EL PASO VICTIMS RELIEF FUND, plus raised $30,000 designated specifically for the Victims’ Scholarship Fund established by Community en Accion to provide scholarships for the orphans and children of victims of the tragedy.  

A portion of the telethon also originated from the ALEX “EL GENIO” LUCAS 30th anniversary concert in LOS ANGELES. Entertainment and music was provided in part by cellist ZUILL BAILEY, WWE personality and wrestler SIN CARA and cumbia band sonora skandalo.

“I want to thank our beautiful and generous EL PASO community for coming together to support the victims, their families, and the charity in this time of great need. We are very appreciative to all the people who made this event possible,” ENTRAVISION SVP/EL PASO DIANA DELARA ZAMUDIO said. “It is our sincere hope that this telethon made this tough time a little easier for all those affected. People are still coming into the station today wanting to help and contribute in any way they can.”
