BET is putting on a telethon to support communities of color hit hard by COVID-19.
Hosted by Kelly Rowland, Regina Hall and TV personality Terrence J, Saving Our Selves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort will feature virtual performances from a slew of artists, including DJ Khaled, Charlie Wilson, Chance The Rapper and Kirk Franklin.
Viewers will also get the latest information and tips on how to cope with the pandemic, as well as directions toward important resources.
The show is part of broader efforts to provide economic and educational support to struggling African-Americans, a community especially affected by the coronavirus pandemic. These include the NAACP’s Town Hall Series and a relief fund through United Way Worldwide. All proceeds from the broadcast special will go to the relief fund.
