Bronx Fire Relief Fund
When something as devastating as the fire at the Twin Parks West Apartments happens in the Bronx, the Universal Hip Hop Museum is there to lend its support. Always.
On January 9, 2022, this fire took the lives of more than 19 New Yorkers, including nine children, and injured more than 60 people. It is the City of New York’s second-most deadly fire in nearly 40 years.
We stand with Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson, and appreciate her call to action, which you can watch here.
Please join us and The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City to raise money and support the victims of this devastating event. Click here to give whatever you can to help repair, rebuild, and heal.
Watch the remarkable film that celebrates the legacy, influence, and presence of Darrell “Chris” Lighty, hosted by Fat Joe, Mona Scott-Young, and Sophia Chang. This replay is happening on our YouTube channel, Sunday, January 16 2022.
