RWQUARANTUNES HOSTS HOLIDAY EVENT FOR UJA NY'S COVID RELIEF

RWQuarantunes raised nearly $800k for UJA-Federation of New York's Covid Relief with its virtual holiday gala featuring appearances and performances by Dan + Shay, Marcus Mumford, Pentatonix, LL Cool J, Rev Run, Jimmy Jam, Daveed Diggs, Lil Jon, Sheila E., Jody Watley, Lukas Graham, Randy Jackson and more.

To celebrate Hanukkah, Shoshana Bean led the audience in a menorah-lighting and sang “Hatikvah,” the Israeli national anthem.

UJA recognized Doug Davis and Richard and Demi Weitz for exceptional professional accomplishments and their commitment to philanthropy.

In a moving tribute, Clive Davis presented his son Doug with the 2020 Music Visionary Award. "This is a very personal and very proud moment for me, as music has been my professional passion, but overall, it must take second spot to the priority of family," the senior Davis said. "I am indeed bursting with pride on the continuing efforts and the recognition of my son’s professional and charitable achievements."

Since March, UJA has allocated $64 million in emergency grants and interest-free loans to meet the immediate and urgent needs created by the pandemic.
