"During this Covid-19 pandemic, we knew Jammin' 105.7 had to do something for our community," said Jammin' 105.7 Program Director and midday personality Paco Lopez. "We reached out to our celebrity friends, who felt the same way and Jam-Athon was born."

"As Jammin 105.7 is my favorite station, I am so honored to be a part of this amazing event," said Az Yet Singer Marc Nelson. "We are all going through a very hard time rediscovering this world. Thank God that music is the only universal language that lifts the spirit."

"We at the Salvation Army Southern Nevada are so appreciative of the efforts of Paco Lopez, his team at Jammin 105.7 and all of the amazing artists and celebrities who are making this concert possible," added Salvation Army Public Relations Officer Leslee Rogers.
