As of today, the 7.1 earthquake that hit the Mexico City area on Sept. 19 has killed 355 people, including 19 children who lost their lives when a school building collapsed.
"When we saw all the devastation, as a school district we were touched really close to home because we work with school children so we wanted to do something," Isabella McNeil, one of the event's organizers, said. "The students said 'hey, we can definitely perform' ... so they're going to be here singing, dancing, and hopefully raising some funds for the earthquake victims in Mexico City."
