Artists who performed at the 71st Festa do Peão de Barretos donated more than R$7 million (about US$1.3 million) to Hospital de Amor, a leading cancer treatment center. More than 20 acts confirmed some kind of contribution, though not all amounts were disclosed.

Gusttavo Lima, the festival's ambassador, topped the list with R$2.5 million. Next came Luan Santana with R$1 million and Bruno & Marrone with R$750,000. According to Jornal de Brasília, Wesley Safadão donated R$700,000.
