The telethon will feature appearances by celebrities, athletes and politicians and live at home performances by Jamaica’s top artists, the final list will be announced soon. Telethon Jamaica is being spearheaded by an alliance of global diaspora organizations with the endorsement of the government of Jamaica. The Hon. Olivia Babsy Grange is the patron of the event.
Having worked closely with AFUWI previously and The No Disrespect Campaign, Christopher Martin is no stranger to philanthropy. Chris recently released the anthem “Big Big” on the Aircraft Riddim, now available on all major streaming platforms.
