“It’s been amazing to see the response not just from the artist community, but our brand partners too,” says Rob Stone, Co-Founder and co-CEO of The Fader. “Now more than ever is the time for the music community and our trusted partners to come together to support one another.”
To kick off the charitable giving Truly Hard Seltzer has committed $20,000 to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Their donation will provide financial assistance to all types of musicians and music industry workers who are directly affected by the crisis.
Just like a normal music festival, artists have a designated time slot that will be accessible at TheFader.com/Fort, along with a direct link to the artist’s chosen charity.
