Press Release-April 5, 2019 - Tampa, FL

Tampa, Texas and Miami groups unite again to raise funds to send critical humanitarian food to Venezuela

"Estamos Unidos Por Venezuela"- "United For Venezuela"

TAMPA, FL – The Tampa 501c3 non-profit organization Course of Action, and other organizations such as All American Music Inc., Caminos de Esperanza, and iHeart Media-Tampa Rumba 106.5 FM are coming together again for an honorable cause. The groups will host a humanitarian aid fundraiser “United For Venezuela- Estamos Unidos Por Venezuela” to help feed the millions of displaced Venezuelans who are in dire need of help.

Colombia's border hospitals are at a breaking point with the influx of Venezuelans arriving every day. Many arrive with serious health issues, putting Colombian hospitals under intense pressure.

According to Dr. Atilio Rivera, Colombia team leader at Project HOPE, a global health and humanitarian relief organization, one reason malnutrition occurs is that pregnant Venezuelans are malnourished themselves. "They are called 'depleted mothers' with anemia and low BMI. This causes babies with low birth weight and therefore, many are prone to acute malnutrition," said Rivera.

Joining the effort is five-time Emmy award winner and television host Mr. Nelson Bustamante. He leads the Miami based non-profit organization Caminos de Esperanza and has also organized the collection of humanitarian supplies to support the Venezuelan road-walkers seeking refuge in Colombia.

iHeartMedia invests in and partners with organizations that are relevant to local communities and are involved in current community issues. For this reason, these organizations are organizing a GoFundMe fundraiser. The fundraiser will raise funds to transport 63 pallets of Fortified Lentil & Vegetable Blend dehydrated food to feed approximately 1.5 million Venezuelans in the border town of Cucuta, Colombia.

To provide meal servings, Course of Action has partnered with Breedlove Foods, Inc., an innovative humanitarian relief organization. Breedlove is a commercial-sized non-profit food processor committed to transforming lives and providing nutritious meals to the world's most vulnerable. Breedlove works with partners around the world to provide food for the world's hungry, in the United States and in more than 70 countries. Their food is utilized in educational and medical institutions, nursing homes, in disaster relief operations, and abroad, where people are vulnerable to hunger. 

Course of Action and All American Music are Veteran owned organizations known in Tampa for their support to children’s education and helping others. Course of Action operated the largest hurricane collection point in Central Florida shipping more than 3 million lbs. of supplies via military planes and shipping containers to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. More recently they participated in the coordination and funding for shipping more than 200,000 bottles of water to the victims of Hurricane Michael in North Florida.

The iHeart daily “United For Venezuela” broadcasts will feature interviews with artists, personalities, community leaders and government officials. “Our management, our on-air talent, our employees and our listeners and viewers are all pitching in to raise funds to contribute to the massive effort across Tampa. We have a deep bond with our Venezuelan brothers and we will remain with them in the long recovery and rebuilding program,” said iHeart management.

All American Music Productions is dedicated to supporting non-profit organizations by organizing events to raise funds and recognize first responders, and Veterans in Tampa Bay. “We worked quietly behind the scene to make things happen,” said Vice President Arlene Marie.
