Monies raised through Calle Ocho Live will be used by the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation to assist the more than 10,000 diverse families in South Florida that it serves with emergency financial assistance, college scholarships, back to school assistance, holiday gifts, and other support during the Covid-19 crisis.
