"The Next Verse" is a musical project by Tony Robbins and Grammy-winning producer Jimmy Jam, along with a bevy of your favorite artists, to support the 100 Billion Meals Challenge to fight world hunger.
Robbins shared with Ryan Seacrest on-air he launched the 100 Billion Meals Challenge to help combat world hunger after growing up in LA without his own family's Thanksgiving dinner. After a stranger helped feed his family one holiday, he was forever changed and on a life mission to help others, now with a goal of 100 billion.
"[We] had no food on Thanksgiving ... more like crackers and peanut butter... and somebody delivered a full-blown turkey dinner to my whole family. It changed my life. That's why I'm here. It made me believe strangers care."
Robbins started the "Next Verse" challenge to help get people involved and donate to help them reach 100 billion meals next. The "Next Verse" challenge on social media encourages people to donate and help by submitting their own creative verse or tune using the hashtag #TheNextVerse. Then, on December 16th at the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles, the song will come to life from artists including Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars, John Legend, Pitbull & more. The recording session will also be live on Zoom so anyone from anywhere in the world can join in real time. The song then premieres on Christmas Day.
Listen back for more and to learn how you can donate and be a part of the anthem.
