The new­ly formed W.I. Laf­fin' Caribbean Com­e­dy Fes­ti­val in part­ner­ship with Scorch will launch a two-hour live on­line fundrais­ing com­e­dy spe­cial on May 23 at 7 PM ET to raise mon­ey for chil­dren af­fect­ed by COVID-19.
The stream host­ed by Jerome' Rome' Pre­cil­la with DJ Blasé Van­guard, it will fea­ture co­me­di­ans from all across the Caribbean and the Caribbean di­as­po­ra in­clud­ing White Yardie, San­tana D Pup­pet, She­ba­da, Nik­ki Cros­by, Ro' dey, Blak­ka, Er­rol Fa­bi­en, Del­ci­ta, Bad­boy Trevor, George Gon­za­lez and may more. This in­au­gur­al livestream event aims to pro­vide view­ers in the Caribbean, the wider di­as­po­ra, and be­yond an op­por­tu­ni­ty to laugh and es­cape from the im­me­di­ate stress­es of the pan­dem­ic. Most im­por­tant­ly, funds raised by W.I. Laf­fin' will ben­e­fit eco­nom­i­cal­ly at-risk chil­dren across the re­gion via a Go Fund Me ac­count set up to ben­e­fit UNICEF.

Our chil­dren are the most vul­ner­a­ble dur­ing this pan­dem­ic. COVID-19 has up­end­ed chil­dren's lives as fam­i­lies strug­gle fi­nan­cial­ly and emo­tion­al­ly as health­care sys­tems strug­gle busi­ness­es close and schools shut their doors. Chil­dren are more at risk to on­line preda­tors, abuse, emo­tion­al trau­ma, and hunger now more than ever.

UNICEF is work­ing to im­prove the lives of chil­dren across the globe in fight­ing the spread of mis­in­for­ma­tion about COVID-19. UNICEF works with health ex­perts to ed­u­cate par­ents, fam­i­lies, care­givers, and oth­ers to nav­i­gate through these un­cer­tain times by com­bat­ing dis­crim­i­na­tion and stig­ma and pro­vid­ing cred­i­ble facts and help­ful guid­ance.

W.I. Laf­fin' Caribbean Com­e­dy Fes­ti­val and Scorch are ex­cit­ed to raise funds to ben­e­fit
UNICEF as they raise aware­ness about chil­dren at risk dur­ing this time. All pro­ceeds of W.I. Laf­fin' For A Cause will be do­nat­ed to UNICEF Re­lief ef­forts in the Caribbean. Find out more about their work bat­tling COVID-19 at UNICEF.org.
