Defy:COVID-19

Funds raised primarily provided relief to people in the entertainment industry who were most vulnerable to the effects of this economic crisis. Additional funds supported the public health response to the threat posed by the virus, including the prevention, detection, and treatment of new cases of COVID-19.

EIF and Defy:Disaster also partnered with health organizations, including the CDC Foundation to provide vital information to help people keep themselves and their families healthy.

Guided by a strategic Advisory Council of experts, Defy:Disaster offers the entertainment community and the public an immediate way to offer vital support to those most affected.

Defy:Disaster supports communities by spearheading fund-raising telecasts, concerts,and comedy events, raising awareness with PSAs featuring artists and athletes, and administering funds in direct financial assistance efforts.
