Amid the crisis, major at-home fundraising concerts have taken place to raise funds for frontline workers, food security, and other related issues arising from the impact of the pandemic.


The online appearances by Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Willie Nelson and others have provided much-needed funding to charities offering help to people facing financial hardship, and distracting fans social distancing in their own homes.

Though the online concerts are free, viewers are encouraged to donate to a range of causes and covid-19 relief funds. Etan Vlessing provides a synopsis with the most recent charitable fundraising totals for five of these events that can be viewed at Samaritanmag.com
