Washington was the first state in the US to have a confirmed Cornavirus case .. and now some of the state's heavyweights are coming together to raise money to support residents who have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis.

 

The All In Wa. fund's goal is to raise $65 million dollars to offer help with people facing food shortages and/ or health disparities, those in need of housing assistance, small businesses, families and children, and essential workers.

 

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has announced he  will match individual donations under $1 million to All In WA causes.  The group has also received commitments from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Microsoft Corporation, and others 

 

The group has also announced they will host a virtual benefit concert to support the fundraising efforts on June 10 at 10p ET - featuring some of Washington's top talents - like Pearl Jam, Brandi Carlile, Dave Matthews, Ben Gibbard, Allen Stone, Macklemore, Sir Mix-A-Lot  Joel McHale, and many more
