Global Citizen's One World: Together at Home brought together some of the world's biggest stars to pay tribute to health care workers and first responders who are fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The eight-hour worldwide special generated $127 million in pledges and donations from around the globe in support for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization -- including from corporate sponsors like Johnson & Johnson, IBM, State Farm, Verizon, GSK, and Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Co-hosted by Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon, the historic broadcast reached billions across the world and featured stories highlighting the courage of those on the front lines fighting the virus with performances from LGBTQ stars like Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Sam Smith, Elton John, Christine and the Queens, and more.
Check out some of the highlights:
