The live stream is being held on Twitch's own channel. Throughout the event, viewers can donate money to the COVID-19 Solidarity Relief Fund for WHO through the United Nation Foundation.
Plenty of money has been donated to help various organisations combat the disease. Last week, League of Legends creator Riot Games pledged $1.5 million to help those affected in Los Angeles. Furthermore, Mixer streamer Ninja and his wife, Jessica Blevins, donated $150,000, they urged those who can do so to do the same.
Recently, Summer Games Done Quick was postponed. However, organisers have created a new event for next month dubbed Corona Relief Done Quick. All money raised through the event will go to Direct Relief.
