“This partnership with TIDAL: X touches on two areas that are very close to our heart – music and philanthropy.  BACARDĺ is proud to play a part in raising awareness and funding for the regions affected by these terrible disasters, including Puerto Rico, Florida and the Caribbean region  — all homes to our family and company,” said Facundo L.

BACARDĺ and TIDAL X: Brooklyn will join New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort for Puerto Rico by paying for cargo planes transporting donated goods to Puerto Rico. There are also plans for artists to join a campaign to urge New Yorkers to donate money and goods to the people of Puerto Rico as it recovers from Hurrican Maria’s devastation. 

Dope.
