Chance said in a press release: “I am excited to perform for Verizon’s Pay It Forward Live series, which benefits local small businesses, who need our support due to the drastic slowdown in our economy from the global pandemic.”

It’s more than important than ever that we all come together to get through this tough time and help continue to help support small businesses in our local communities.”
