MIAMI (June 26, 2026) \u2014 iHeartMedia Miami is partnering with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) to amplify a growing humanitarian response effort led by Miami-Dade County, using its radio and digital platforms to drive donations during a focused campaign on Tuesday, June 30, for victims of the recent earthquakes in Venezuela.<\/p>\n
The collaboration builds on a countywide aid initiative with GEM. On Tuesday June 30, iHeartMedia Miami will broadcast appeals across its South Florida stations, encouraging listeners to contribute funds and essential supplies to support families affected by the disaster.<\/p>\n
The earthquakes have devastated communities across Venezuela, damaging infrastructure, displacing residents, and worsening an already fragile humanitarian situation. Miami-Dade leaders say the local response reflects the region\u2019s deep ties to Venezuela and longstanding commitment to international relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cPowerful earthquakes have severely impacted communities throughout Venezuela,\u201d said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. \u201cMiami-Dade County stands united with our Venezuelan community, and we are committed to supporting rapid relief and long-term recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n
By leveraging its wide audience reach, iHeartMedia Miami aims to accelerate donations and broaden awareness of the ongoing needs. On-air personalities are expected to share updates, highlight the impact of contributions, and direct listeners to donation channels throughout the day. Participating stations include Tu 94.9, Magic 93.9, Y100.7, 103.5 The Beat, Big 105.9, NewsRadio 610, WIOD, and Fox Sports 940.<\/p>\n
Global Empowerment Mission, a Miami-based nonprofit known for rapid disaster response, is at the center of the effort. While physical donations are being accepted, organizers emphasize that monetary contributions are the most effective way to deliver aid quickly and efficiently, allowing relief teams to procure region-specific supplies and support local recovery operations.<\/p>\n
