CINCINNATI — Ohio might be under a new stay-at-home order, but that's not stopping United Way of Greater Cincinnati from putting on a benefit webcast Friday.
The United4Cincy benefit webcast hopes to bring a little bit of entertainment into everyone's homes, while also raising money for the United Way's COVID-19 relief fund.
"A lot of people are struggling. They're not looking for a handout, they're looking for a hand up," said Janeen Coyle, WGRR radio host, who will be taking part in the webcast.
Tonight is the United 4 Cincy Benefit Webcast - it's a concert/talk show event that will be streaming on Facebook, YouTube and https://t.co/QnXy8gIUwv.
All donations benefit the United Way of Greater Cincinnati.
