On Saturday night, a fundraiser for medical teams will be held in the U.S., led by Lady Gaga and in collaboration with the three major television channels in America.

"One World: Together at Home" will be a virtual broadcaster to be aired on Saturday night under the combined guidance of the three Light Knight facilitators: Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. Among the artists to appear in the broadcast: Paul McCartney, Alton John, Maluma, soloist Coldplay band Chris Martin, Alannis Morrist, Andrea Butchley, Billy Eilish, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Sean Mendez, Farrell Williams and Sam Smith.

Also in attendance will be stars such as David Beckham, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey, Alan DeGeneres, and Kerry Washington.

The broadcast will begin at 3 AM on the Israeli time (the night between Saturday and Sunday), and will also be broadcast via Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. On Sunday at 7pm, it will be broadcast on MTV Israel channel.

Lady Gaga was entrusted with the choice of attendees, and along with the organizers, already helped raise $ 35 million in philanthropic endeavors. "It is very important to think globally and to help the World Health Organization flatten the pandemic curve and prevent future outbreaks of the virus," Gaga said in her statement, "We would like to express gratitude to the medical professionals around the world. You who risk trying to save the world - we all salute you."

The organizers are the heads of Global Citizen, an international humanitarian project that helps raise funds for disadvantaged populations, with the aim of reducing the world's poverty. The organization was founded by two Australian philanthropists, Hugh Evans and Ryan Gael. Since 2012, they have held major music events in New York every year to support the mutual guarantee of the company.
